This statistic is inconceivable considering Venezuela was one of the richest countries in South America not too long ago.
A recent report determined the average person has lost 24 lbs over the last year and about 90% of the population currently lives in poverty. A couple of its many problems include the lack of food provisions and huge inflation prices.
It’s overwhelming, honestly, especially if you’ve seen scarcity in countries who have never experienced such abundance.Ĭan you envision going to the grocery store and finding aisles and aisles of empty shelves? Venezuela at this moment is facing a major nationwide crisis. Walk into any Costco, Walmart or local store and you’ll notice the shelves are practically overflowing with stuff…all kinds of stuff! Oftentimes multiple brands offer different varieties of the same type of item. In a prosperous country like the United States, it’s difficult to imagine what “lack” looks like.
