The asylum seeker mum of a toddler with sickle cell disease has been refused access to a microwave at her hotel, where staff instead give her jars of baby food that the 16-month-old refuses to eat.
As a result, Mariam* believes her daughter’s development is slowed. Zarah has only just begun to crawl, and suffers from digestive problems.
Mariam and Zarah have been living in a room in a hotel run by Millennium Hotels since January while awaiting the outcome of their asylum claim.
