Juan Nicolás has been detained at Dilley since January, where his mother said he's been consistently sick. According to reports compiled by Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas), Univision's Lidia Terrezas, and Juan's mother, at about 3 a.m. on Sunday, Juan suffered a "medical episode" where he was "choking on his own vomit." He was rushed to a hospital on Monday night and diagnosed with bronchitis.
Dr Ahmad al-Farra, the head of pediatrics at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, stated, 'I can't begin to describe how bad things are. Right now, we have enough formula for about one week.' He emphasized the critical shortages of not just infant formula but specialized formula for premature babies. He noted that many infants are without any access to milk, marking the situation as catastrophic.
