EspañolIn Venezuela, it’s now common to see people rummaging through the garbage to look for food. However, a new video reveals just how extreme the crisis is, as low-ranking soldiers were also caught on camera looking through trash bags for food.

The video outraged thousands of Venezuelans, saying that those who watch over the country’s safety are supposed to be well fed in the barracks.

In May 2016, six Army officials were arrested for stealing goats, stating that they had nothing to eat.

The servicemen, when questioned, not only confessed to the crime, but also argued that they have no food in the dining room at Manaure Fort in the state of Lara.
