Hunger in Venezuela

Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

The images coming out of Venezuela show a country in turmoil. The economy is failing, violent protests on the streets have left nearly 60 dead, and figures recently released show that child mortality has also increased in a country that was once the wealthiest in the region. Vladimir Hernandez is a Venezuelan journalist with the BBC and recently came back with a troubling report from his home country about child malnutrition. Image: Venezuelan girl Credit: BBC
