Venezuela: Thousands cross into Colombia for better prospects

At least 48 people in Venezuela have been killed in clashes between anti-government protesters and police in the past two months.

 

Major political, economic and food shortage crises have spurred growing unrest and opposition to President Nicolas Maduro.

 

Thousands have crossed a key bridge into neighbouring Colombia to escape the crisis in search of better lives and opportunities.
