CARACAS, Venezuela — The mayor of Chacao in Venezuela’s capital Caracas has warned that Caribbean islands and Colombia may suffer an influx of refugees from Venezuela if food shortages continue in the country.

“As hunger deepens, we could see more Venezuelans fleeing by land or sea to an island,” Muchacho said.

As seen this video Venezuela is seeing a new wave of looting that resulted in at least 2 deaths, countless wounded, and millions of dollars in losses and damages.

The country appears to be on the verge of complete collapse and chaos.

Panampost reported that last Wednesday morning a crowd ransacked a supermarket in the central region of Venezuela.

“They took milk, pasta, flour, oil, and milk powder. There were 5,000 people,” one witness told Venezuela outlet El Estímulo.

People from across the entire state came to the supermarket because there were rumours that some products not found anywhere else would be sold there. Authorities were unable to control the massive crowd.

“There were 250 people for each National Guard officer… lots of people and few soldiers. At least one officer was beat up because he tried to stop the crowd,” another source told El Estímulo.
