    Default Venezuela’s Capital Is Running Out of Water as Hospitals Forced to Cancel Operations

    lready battling hyperinflation, a lack of medical supplies and empty supermarket shelves, Venezuelans in the capital city of Caracas are now running out of water.

    Citizens and businesses are struggling with the shortage while hospitals are being forced to postpone or cancel operations because equipment cannot be washed, Reuters reported.

    Even when the water is running, it is often dirty. With the health network already running low on vaccines and antibiotics, using the scant water supply is both a necessity and a health risk.

    the real problem with venzy is not socialism. It's that the country is 40% indians. They are hopeless and helpless and fit only for crime and welfare - like our north american injuns. Fortunately just 1% of america is injun.
    Reckless drivers are a bigger threat to you than all other criminals put together!

    THE BIG LIE - Blacks and whites are different physically but identical mentally!

    There is no way 81 million americans voted for a man they know is a child molester w dementia. Impeach Joe the Pedophile Vegetable (JPV)
