Nelson, the correspondent: the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela after the worst power outage in its history

The humanitarian crisis in Venezuela has intensified after almost a week of mbadive blackout in the country. Although electricity supply has begun to recover in some areas, many citizens are still living in the dark. As if that were not enough, the lack of drinking water was added to the list of problems. In the midst of this chaos, which has generated cross-links between President Nicolás Maduro and opposition leader Juan Guaidó, journalist Nelson Castro traveled to Caracas to to portray the situation from the inside.

As a result of the longest blackout in its history, the country has not only suffered from a lack of electricity and water, but also from a wave of looting in which dozens of merchants and businessmen were victims. One of the most affected states was Zulia, where millionaire losses were recorded.

For its part, the Chavez government said the worst was over. "Today, 100% of the national electricity services are fully restored," said Minister of Communication Jorge Rodríguez on Thursday.

For the direction of Maduro, the power outage was about a sabotage of the United States with the collaboration of the opposition. However, Washington and the Guaidó circle have both denied this accusation and denounced the result of the lack of investment of the ruling party.
