End of Title 42: Children denied medical care at Juarez-El Paso Border
Migrants wait to be processed at gate 40 of the border wall after having crossed the Rio Grande from Ciudad Juarez in hopes of turning themselves in with the intention of seeking asylum. Many migrants waited without shelter for lengthy periods of time. After six days outside, under extreme heat during the day, freezing temperatures at night and fierce sandstorms, women and small children crowded together under the shade of two trees. ESMERALDA TOC, who fled violence from terrorists in San José del Guaviare, Colombia, worried about the fate of the children in the group who were getting sicker, with fever that continue to spike. With their medicine gone, the mothers tried everything they could, but the children were not responding, she said. Desperate, Tocó said she went to the US authorities and asked for medicine but she was rejected.

Scott Mc Kiernan presents zReportage.com Story of the Week #889: TUESDAY May 16, 2023: ‘THE LONG WAIT: Part I’ by all time Pulitzer Prize (4 times) winning, ZUMA Press photo-journalist CAROL GUZY. Two families wait among others in painful desperation for over a week in a parking lot in Hatay, Turkey as bodies of their loved ones are pulled from the rubble of an apartment building that collapsed after a massive 7.8 earthquake struck. Thousands were killed there and other cities in Turkey and Syria on February 6, 2023. The first earthquake on February 6 that hit southeastern Turkey and northern Syria measured a magnitude of 7.8 and a second, a little later, measured 7.6. The region has been rocked by more than 9,000 aftershocks since. Nearly 240,000 rescue workers, including volunteers, continue to work in the 11 quake-hit provinces in Turkey. The confirmed death toll stood at 59,259. Welcome to ‘THE LONG WAIT: Part I’
