Hilfsgüter für Venezuela müssen an den Grenzen warten
February 23, 2019 -
US Präsident Donald Trump fordert das venezolanische Militär auf, Präsident Maduro aufzugeben und statt dessen den Interimspräsident Juan Guaidó bei der Verteilung von Hilfsgütern für Tausende notleidende Venezolaner zu unterstützen.
The Trump administration and Venezuelan opposition have set Saturday as their deadline to break President Maduro’s blockade of the Colombian border, where the U.S. has delivered humanitarian supplies
Guaido says he will try to run caravans of aid across the border from Colombia. Maduro denies a humanitarian crisis exists, blaming the Trump administration for mounting a coup against him.
More than 2 million Venezuelans have fled the country in the last two years, most flooding across the border into Colombia, Brazil and Peru. Those left behind struggle to afford scarce supplies of food and medicine as inflation soars.
