| |

Venezuela crisis only worsens as parts of the country are hit with new power failure
| |
|---|
|
|---|
| It was the latest setback as the country remains mired in a political crisis. Two months after the United States recognized Juan Guaido as Venezuela's leader, President Nicolas Maduro remains in power and the opposition seems to be treading water. | |
|---|
|
|---|
| The United Nations is appealing to the two rival leaders to end their battle over humanitarian aid and says in a new report that as much as 94 percent of the population lives in poverty, with one-fourth of them, or 7 million people, in need of humanitarian assistance. It says millions do not have regular access to water, food or medicine and that four million people suffer from undernourishment. | |

| Gabe Gutierrez is in Venezuela and will report on the crisis. | |
