A BBC journalist, who attempted to film the crisis, was stopped and forced by soldiers to delete footage of a protest outside a supermarket as desperate Venezuelans waited for food.
Baying crowds shouted “We want to buy stuff!” as they grouped outside the store in the country’s capital, Caracas.
BBC journalist Vladimir Hernandez reports that many people approached him to say they had queued for 12 hours without being able to buy what they wanted.

The Economic Collapse In Venezuela Is So Bad That People Are Slaughtering And Eating Zoo Animals
By Michael Snyder, on August 3rd, 2016
With each passing week, the situation in Venezuela keeps on getting worse.
And even though the United States has made many of the exact same mistakes that Venezuela has made, most of us just assume that what is happening down there could never happen up here.
After all, we have “the greatest economy in the world” and we are “the wealthiest nation on the entire planet”, right?
Well, actually our economic infrastructure has been systematically gutted by free trade deals and we consume far more wealth than we produce. We have artificially pumped up our standard of living by adding more than 1.1 trillion dollars a year to the national debt since Barack Obama has been in the White House, and one recent poll discovered that 62 percent of all Americans have less than $1,000 saved up.
But don’t worry. Instead of turning out like Venezuela, the mainstream media insists that the best days for America are right around the corner.
