Doctors demand humanitarian aid be allowed into Venezuela by Cole Griffin

Venezuelan doctors protested Sunday at the entrance to a bridge blocked by their nation's military to demand that humanitarian aid be allowed to enter. Twenty four doctors wearing white coats carrying a Venezuelan flag called the military to remove a tanker and two containers blocking the Tienditas International Bridge. The doctors protested on the Columbian side of the border. Guaido, the leader of the National Assembly who four dozen nations are recognizing as Venezuela's rightful president, urged the military to think carefully about how they will proceed. President Nicolas Maduro has vowed not to let the supplies pass, saying Venezuela isn't a nation of beggars. The U.S. provided the aid and the Colombian government helped ensure its transport to the border, but the opposition is charged with handling the aid's distribution within Venezuela. We will have to wait and see what happens as these events proceed.
