Begging on the streets of Caracas

Description

Caracas (Venezuela), 12 (EFE), (Camera: Andry Rincón/ Henry Chirinos).- Tired of walking the streets asking for food for her 4-year-old grandson, Carmen Bellorín sits near a busy avenue in Caracas, begging that someone gives her something. Whatever, anything that allows her grandson to fill his empty stomach. Like her, thousands of Venezuelans take to the streets every day to beg for food or clothes amid an economic crisis that seems endless in the Caribbean country.FOOTAGE OF PEOPLE BEGGING ON THE STREETS OF CARACAS.
