Venezuelan migrant Erika Fernandez, 33, poses for a picture with her sons Ronald, 10, and Jose, 3, while they wait to process their documents at the Ecuadorian-Peruvian border service centre, before they continue their journey, on the outskirts of Tumbes, Peru, June 16, 2019. Fernandez, a nurse, is travelling to meet her husband who has been in Peru for one year. "Everything has been terrible since I left my house and it is still a nightmare, first because of the crowds of people but also all the delays with the buses," she said. "My child has been vomiting since last night, I took him to the Red Cross, and they gave me water to rehydrate him and paracetamol in case he gets a fever," she added. "The toughest part has been to see my children go hungry because I never thought I would see my children like that. They say to me, 'Mama I'm hungry', and I don't have money to give them anything." "I want a better quality of life for my kids, I do not want to teach them that they have to fight for food, but instead, I want to teach them that anyone who works, can buy it."

Lydia Cua, 68, stands outside the Porter Ranch home where she has lived since 1991, near the site of the Aliso Canyon storage field where gas has been leaking in Porter Ranch, California, United States, January 21, 2016. Long before the leak, utilities and national industry groups were raising alarms about the danger of aging underground storage infrastructure. Under state regulations, the leaking well’s owner, Southern California Gas, faces a maximum penalty of $25,000 for the leak near Los Angeles, which is unprecedented in scale. The well has spewed methane - a potent greenhouse gas - since October and displaced thousands of people in nearby Porter Ranch. Cua said the gas leak has affected her whole family, and had caused her five-year-old grandson to vomit at night. To match Exclusive LOSANGELES-GAS LEAK/REGULATION REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson

A young member of the choir of "Sinfonia por el Peru" vomits before performing with Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez at Lima's National Theatre, in this May 13, 2014 file photo.

I was covering a concert at Lima's National Theatre, awaiting the appearance of Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez, who was singing with the young members of the orchestra he was sponsoring, 'Sinfonia por el Peru'.

Moments before he showed up, a choir girl in the middle started vomiting. The children were performing for a very refined audience that came to see Florez, and perhaps she couldn't handle it. When she threw up for a second time, her vomit splashed onto the kids around her. They were all very professional and continued performing until eventually she was told to step off the stage.
