Despite the blockade and repression, 50 tons of humanitarian aid were admitted to Venezuela

The opposition claimed on Sunday that 50 tons of humanitarian aid entered Venezuela despite the blockade imposed by the Nicolás Maduro regime, which closed the country's borders to prevent donations requested by Parliament to cope with a shortage of medicines and food.

"Some of the charges also went through other paths and in the week we will show part of this result and where will they come and who will be the beneficiaries"said the chairman of the parliamentary commission for humanitarian aid, Miguel Pizarro, at a press conference.

When asked what he had entered, the parliamentarian said that some "50 tons of humanitarian aid" entered the country by two trucks to the south, where Venezuela has a common border with Brazil.

Pizarro said that boxes that "are kept safe" contain nutritional supplements, medical equipment and hygiene products.

On Saturday, on the border between Venezuela and Brazil, two large trucks waited to enter the country. Donations collected in the state of Roraima were returned after a few hours to the Brazilian territory.

Yuretzi Idrogo, Venezuelan deputy exiled in Brazil, said Saturday that trucks waiting at the border, loaded with food and medicine, were withdrawals "as a precaution" and "avoid potential conflicts". "The idea is that this aid be peacefully and without violence," he said after groups of anti-Chavez demonstrators threatened to set fire to the fuel tanks of the vehicles.

The border between Venezuela and Brazil, as with Colombia, remains closed and in some of the Venezuelan cities bordering these countries, there was violent riots Saturdayin the midst of protesters' demand to allow the registration of donations that Maduro does not accept because they may lead to a foreign invasion.

According to the opposition Sunday, the population of Santa Elena de Uairén, on the border with Brazil, is "besieged" by "paramilitaries" on the recorded clashes that resulted in several deaths and injuries.

Anti-HIS ensures that he has reports that "range from 14 to 25 murdered in the population of Pemón". However, the spokesman of the opposition, Miguel Pizarro, said that until they have "full voice", the complete information provided by the natives themselves can not confirm the number of deaths.

The clashes there took place in parallel with those on the border between Venezuela and Colombia, which is also closed and where aid was to enter, which are stored in the Colombian city of Cúcuta.
