Starvation in Venezuela: Today’s Children May Die Prematurely​

by Sabrina Martín October 5, 2020

They where already suffering greatly. Did the world shut made things worst? Possible, but how about agriculture? People are able to live off the land, that they are on. I ask my self this questions.
 
The problem in Venezuela, to be honest and many analysts say the blame, most of it, is because of the corruption in the system. It’s not so much as saying that it is because they adopted socialism. That’s just an honest view, not that I’d impose that view on others.

What can you say when you have the largest oil reserves in the world which they do but they have to import oil? That’s mismanagement too.

So sad, and so unnecessary. Should or could the UN be asked to step in and help?
