A 19-year-old girl died in the Santa Cruz city of Caleta Olivia after consuming food from a trash can, while her siblings were hospitalized. According to the Argentine News Agency, the patient was admitted to the Regional Hospital on February 6 with sepsis and died on Monday after being in the Intensive Care Unit. The girl and three of her brothers, aged 3, 8, and 13, were in an advanced state of malnutrition, indicating that the family was in a situation of extreme vulnerability. The three minors remain hospitalized under constant monitoring by health personnel, although they are no longer in danger, according to local media. Additionally, the lack of a National Identity Document (DNI) for the 19-year-old complicated the burial procedures, as her parents never went to the Civil Registry. Meanwhile, the mother 'was admitted to the emergency room on February 8', was stabilized and discharged.
