Venezuelan officials are depriving citizens of much-needed medication and food by forcing U.S. non-profit groups to stop sending supplies. According to Fox News, the Venezuelan government is shutting down already over-restricted channels of aid by confiscating deliveries of essential items. Many U.S. agencies either cannot ship supplies in or even receive shipping permits at all, and some say they may stop aid altogether if something doesn’t change soon. Venezuelan politics are currently in turmoil as elections near in July, decreasing the likelihood of suppliers’ ability to continue their aid.
