By 1467 0

Severely bad clashes had been broken out at the border towns across Venezuela as opposition activists try to bring aid into the country across government blockades.

It is reported that two people have been killed in these clashes between the soldiers and opposition supporters after Maduro closed the border with Brazil and Colombia. The trucks loaded with humanitarian aid tried to cross over from Brazil and Colombia.

The Venezuelan soldiers fired tear gas at opposition supporters who were trying to unload the goods in the trucks. This caused harm to hundreds of people.

Demonstrators set up barricades and burned tires in the Venezuelan border town of Urena, as attention turned to whether National Guard troops stationed at the border crossing would fulfill Maduro’s orders to block humanitarian aid from reaching a sick and hungry population.

Consular and Crisis Management Division first assistant secretary Andrew Todd said, “Mr Assange does have an Australian passport”.
