‘Why are you crying, Mami?’ In Venezuela, the search for water is a daily struggle.

Venezuelans line up with cans and tanks to collect water Monday in Petare, the largest slum in Caracas. By Arelis R. Hernández and Arelis R. Hernández Reporter covering politics and government in Prince George's County and Maryland Email Bio Follow Mariana Zuñiga April 4 at 2:46 PM CARACAS — Jakeline Moncada had faith that her household reserves would hold out until Venezuela’s water service was restored.

President Nicolás Maduro blames Venezuela’s myriad woes on sabotage by the opposition and its U.S. backers, aimed at destabilizing his government. The opposition and U.S. officials blame years of mismanagement and corruption under Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chávez.Venezuelans fill bottles with water from the Sabas Nieves creek in eastern Caracas on Tuesday.

The country already is dealing with hunger, malnourishment and shortages of medicines and medical supplies. The longer Venezuelans go without access to clean water, Landaeta said, the greater the likelihood of gastrointestinal and bacterial infection. Maduro condemned the violence and told Venezuelans to steel themselves while the government works to restore the system. Water Administrator Evelyn Vasquez told reporters a pipe “explosion” had hindered efforts, but did not provide details.

José de Viana is a former president of Hidrocapital, the state-run water authority. Under normal circumstances, he said, if power from the national grid failed, thermoelectric plants positioned outside Venezuela’s cities would fire up as a backup system and keep the water flowing. “They end up calling these ‘springs’ or ‘wells,’” he said. “But it’s mostly sewage water that is not potable and comes from other people’s toilets.”

A true crisis for this beautiful country...sad what the corruption of humans can do

Russia asks why it should leave Venezuela when U.S. military bases cover “the whole world”Russia’s top diplomat felt it was “insolent” for the U.S. to warn only Western countries could be involved in the West when the Pentagon maintained more bases abroad than all other countries combined. If there were a real president in the White House, they wouldn’t be asking that question. Maybe because 40% of Russians lack indoor plumbing? realDonaldTrump will say nothing
