Medina and Elmedina, two girls from Veles, aged 8 and 9, are two of Mejudie Mustafa's 14 underage children, who are literally barefoot, in summer sandals, begging in nearby restaurants and streets to bring food and milk for their four-month-old baby Metin. . But this baby has not been bathed since he was born and he has whole wounds on his body.
His mother Fikrije is a 16-year-old girl, one of Mejudie's many children, and she cannot take care of him. She gave birth at home, because there is no health insurance, and half of the children are not registered in the birth register and none of them goes to school. This mother said that she was left alone because her husband did not come and did not take care of the family. He collects plastic, and with the money he buys alcohol instead of food for home.
"I am powerless to fight alone in these conditions when there is no water, and not a toilet or a stove on which I will heat water or cook food. But the hardest thing for me is when I have nothing to prepare, we have been starving for days. How would you tell your children that today you can only eat once or have nothing to eat?
