VIDEO: Venezuelans Loot Food Trucks, Dig Through Garbage For Food

The economic crisis in Venezuela continues to worsen as hyperinflation and confiscatory tax policies push the population to desperation. Below, video obtained by Fox Business shows just how bleak conditions are getting, with everyday people forced to find their food in the trash.

Fox Business reports:

Shortages of food and basic goods have worsened in Venezuela as its economy suffers under a global drop in oil prices and hyperinflation has set in.

Liz MacDonald said on Your World that people on the street told her they were starving and had no choice but to go through garbage.

With the looting of the grocery truck, MacDonald said regular drivers would stop and join in, while the National Guard stood by not doing anything.
