Nauru's finance minister says the country is out of money and services will soon start shutting down. Nauru has refused to pay a debt to a US-based fund manager Firebird which has now blowned to 13 million dollars. The government's bank accounts have been frozen as a result. Nauru is seeking to urgently free up the funds. The country's finance minister told the New South Wales Supreme 1 Court that the island will shortly run out of cash, meaning it won't be able to transport health, legal and other contractors 2 to the detention 3 center and that will impact refugees.
