Survivors and relatives continue to struggle with medical and financial burdens, including a two-year-old survivor who has undergone approximately 20 surgeries for burns covering 45% of his body. Families report that government financial assistance has been insufficient to meet the costs of medical care and transportation. In Paraguay, relatives of five people killed in a September 2024 accident at the Pedrozo crossing in Ypacaraí have filed a lawsuit against the state for damages. The accident involved a truck that lost its brakes and struck stationary vehicles.
