In
Caracas, Venezuela groups of protesters chanting, "We want food!"
gathered near the presidential palace, as security forces started firing
rounds of tear gas. President Nicolas Maduro has been under intense
pressure as the economic conditions worsen in his country of 30 million
people. One woman told a reporter, "There's no more food in the shops
and supermarkets. We're hungry and we're tired." Venezuelans are
suffering from shortages of basic goods like milk and flour, despite
being a country with the world's largest oil reserves. President Maduro
blames the unrest on the fall in global oil prices. Government officials
tried to reassure citizens that "things will improve in the next few
weeks."
