VELA: "There are 80 children at this facility. It’s a former hospital. These children are being well taken care of. It’s not an ideal situation because they are not with their parents, but in this facility are children under the age of 10 with a few exceptions, some mothers who are teenagers who have borne children. In one room there are four infants under the age of one, two with their teenaged parents, and two who are alone. One who is separated from their sister, their mother had died at some point in the process, and the other we were told was separated from her mother."
