Venezuela's crippling blackout: No water, no light
[]
People lined up with buckets to collect water in Venezuela's capital Caracas on Monday. A 30 days of electricity rationing was announced on Sunday following a power outage, which intensified the country's water crisis. With no electricity, pumping stations cannot work so water service is limited as well. "We don't have water, we don't have any light, we don't have internet access, our phones don't work. We are even worse off than we could have imagined," Joaquin Rodriguez, a 54-year-old lawyer, told AFP. /VCG Photo
