The stomach has become accustomed to not getting food

The newly built warehouse is deserted at the border between Colombia and Venezuela. It was built a few years ago, but opened never. The president of venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, has kept the border closed to prevent their countrymen, smuggling of cheap venezuelan gasoline to Colombia. But now you want to Colombia to open the border to bring in the humanitarian aid that the U.S. sent to Venezuela.

"We want Maduro to take away their containers and trucks that block their part of the border," says general Aladino, from the colombian civil defense.

He opens one of the bags that the u.s. assisting authority, USAID sent and picks up canned tuna, spaghetti, coffee, chocolate and toothpaste – products that are no longer possible to get hold of in Venezuela. On the bag it says ”Del pueblo de los Estados Unidos de América”, from the american people.

" the Need is huge. This food will be devoured quickly, " said the general.

the u.s. air force sent three C-17 transport aircraft landed in the colombian border city of Cúcuta, with 3 500 food parcels for malnourished children and 25 000 hygiene kits for families. The idea is that venezuelans who fled to Colombia to carry out assistance on Saturday, but the risk is great for Nicolás Maduro asks his elite troops to stop the help.

" How he do he will lose face. He releases through the assistance allows the regime to the failed economy of the world's most oil-rich country. He releases not through the help so seems he is an evil person who lets his people starve, " says a colombian lagerarbetarna.
