In child nutrition research, we talk about the first 1,000 days—from conception through age 2—as an absolutely critical period for child development. Sustained undernutrition in útero and as babies and toddlers has largely irreversible negative health impacts that last a lifetime.
Hidaya Al-Motawaq's son is a year and a half old and weighs less than 10 pounds. Doctors warn of permanent damage to children's health due to chronic malnutrition from Israel's earlier blockade.

We already know of over 1,000 student visa terminations. The true number is likely significantly higher. Very few have anything to do with pro-Palestinian advocacy. The overwhelming majority seem to be the result of automated terminations for any contact with law enforcement, no matter how minor.
There are specific regulatory and procedural requirements to end a student’s legal status, attorneys say.
But the basis for the vast majority of terminations—including traffic violations and other misdemeanor issues—wouldn’t meet them, they say. And students aren’t getting a chance to respond.

So, workers and their kids are sleeping in cars and motels but aren't officially counted as unhoused and are scorned for "bad choices" they're presumed to have made.
