German term or phrase: allein gelassen
"Beide schlafen ein, total erschöpft, allein gelassen und voller Angst."
"solas" sin más no me gusta porque se pierde un matiz. "Abandonadas" creo que tampoco corresponde exactamente en este caso, pues no es que sus familias u otros responsables las hayan abandonado, sino más bien que no se les ha hecho caso. En principio he puesto "dejadas de la mano de Dios" (porque "dejadas solas" me suena fatal), pero tengo dudas. Ya sé que estoy un poco pesada, pero me parece que en un texto de este tipo los detalles son importantes...
Muchas gracias de antemano.
