MARACAIBO VENEZUELA
María del Carmen is 6 years old and weighs 6 kilos. At home eating is no longer a habit. They go hungry and they are noticed. It has a small body and little skin covers the bones. Only her grandmother and her aunt charge her, because the other family members "are afraid to break her".

The last time the girl was weighed was in December. His relatives say that in November he weighed 10 kilos, but no longer, now he is in six because he is severely malnourished.

Her mother left her at her grandmother's house along with her four brothers who are two girls of 8 and 5 and two children of 4 and 2 years old. María del Carmen is the second of this group.

I couldn't bear to post the pictures. It is sickening.

But, Maduro insists that there is no humanitarian crisis. This child is a prop to be used by the CIA and the narco-criminal Presidente in Colombia (who cannot dance the Rumba and sing llanero songs like Maduro!)
