Crisis in Venezuela - Water

Every day Venezuelans must walk up to eight kilometers to find water in any pipe, tank or well on the streets of the city of Maracaibo Venezuela. Today Tuesday March 19, 2019 from early hours carrying buckets, pipes, plastic bottles and bottles of soda make up three trips a day to calm their desperation in the face of drought. According to a study by the Commission for Human Rights of the State of Zulia (Codhez), nearly 80% of the households in the country do not have access to the vital liquid even on many occasions to drink, cook or bathe. In the best case the water arrives once every two weeks for three months, and in some areas it can be seen how it is thrown on the streets or ravines by fleeting in the pipes of the distribution system.
