During dinnertime at the Queens Travel Lodge, a baby boy has already finished his bottle of milk. He's still hungry, but his mother says at this shelter, there are no refills
“My children are in dire need,” she tells News 4, crying as she says that the food situation at the shelter has her at the brink of desperation.
The I-Team interviewed multiple families at other hotels with similar stories. At the Super 8 in Brooklyn, a woman said the meals were “not enough.” In a midtown shelter, a pregnant mom worried her unborn baby girl isn’t getting enough nutrients because dinner at her shelter is just 230 calories. Another migrant, Maria Plaza, said while they could definitely use more food, she thinks the city is helping migrants a lot. She is grateful for a place to sleep and the free food they do receive.
“They don't have food for the children. These kids are getting hungrier. We are scrambling,” Rodriguez told NBC New York. “This is an emergency in that sense. We're talking about babies that need food.” Another plane full of migrants could end up in another state after Mayor Adams said thousands of migrants have already ended up in NYC. Melissa Russo reports.
