Humanitarian aid used as weapon in Maduro-Guaido conflictDesperately needed aid being stockpiled at Venezuela’s door is at the heart of a political duel between the two men fighting to lead the oil-rich nation: Juan Guaido and Nicolas Maduro. Guaido, recognized as Venezuela’s interim president by around 50 countries, has pressed the all-critical military to allow the mostly American humanitarian aid to reach the most vulnerable population, or around 300,000 people. Several hundred meters (yards) from there on the Colombia side are the hangars where the emergency aid is being stockpiled.
