Iqrar Hussain sought asylum in Australia after Taliban attacks on his village on the Pakistani-Afghan border - but ended up in Papua New Guinea where he and other refugees say they feel unsafe.
In recent weeks, the Pacific nation has been rocked by deadly riots that killed 15 people, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency.
For Mr Hussain, who has been surviving precariously on the kindness of friends, strangers and advocacy groups such as the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre (ASRC) and Brigidine Sisters in Australia, the spate of violent looting left him and his family shaken.
