Desperate Venezuelans Swarm Sewage Drains In Search Of Water
The next chapter of this story will be raging epidemics of deadly diseases. This is what Democrats want to bring to America.
Quote:CARACAS (Reuters) – As Venezuela’s five-day power blackout left homes without water, Lilibeth Tejedor found herself looking for it on Monday in the last place she would have imagined – a drain pipe feeding into a river carrying sewage through the capital, Caracas.
Tejedor, 28, joined dozens of people who had flocked to the Guaire river, which snakes along the bottom of a sharp ravine alongside Caracas’ main highway, to fill up a four-gallon (15 liter) plastic container.
Unlike the fetid liquid flowing through the Guaire river, the water emerging from the pipe was at least clear. Those who gathered to collect it said the water had been released by local authorities from reservoirs. They added, however, that it was being carried through unsanitary pipes and should only be used to flush toilets or scrub floors.
“I’ve never even seen this before. It’s horrible, horrible,” said Tejedor, preparing to carry the container on a small hand cart back to her home in the neighborhood of San Agustin. Tejedor, who works at a computer technology store, has a two-year-old daughter and takes care of two nieces. “The ones that are most affected are the children, because how do you tell a child that there’s no water?” she said.
The lack of water has become one of the most excruciating side effects of the nationwide blackout that the government of President Nicolas Maduro has blamed on U.S.-backed sabotage but his critics call the product of corruption and incompetence.

Dysentery and cholera will be next. At some point somebody has to invade for humanitarian purposes.

We should send Bernie & AOC on a "fact finding" mission.
When they get back (if they get back) first question...... What makes you think your socialist policies won't turn us into them?

Bernie and AOC should just go down there and give them FREE water and FREE HEALTHCARE when they get sick. And once they are all well give them FREE college. Whats the big deal?
