Thousands of desperate Venezuelans are trying to enter Colombia in a bid to escape the hunger and soaring crime rate caused by the spiralling economic crisis.


Incredible pictures show the mass exodus of refugees crossing the Simon Bolivar international bridge trying to flee the political crisis threatening to engulf Venezuela.


Colombia along with its neighbour Brazil has sent extra soldiers to patrol their porous border with the country after officially taking in more than half a million migrants over the last six months of 2017.


The country is also tightening its border controls in a bid to stem the flow.


The dire economic conditions have led to lawlessness in parts of Venezuela's capital Caracas, with truck drivers subjected to 'Mad Max' violence as looters target heavy goods vehicles carrying food.

Venezuela don cast.

Nigeria is very peculiar. We are almost in the same situation with them but we turning out better after oil prices picked up again, at least comparing both countries.

Same way we survived, albeit with pains the same economic situation that upturned Argentine economy and sent the entire country into deep recession they are still battling.

Refugees trying to flee hunger, inflation and the political crisis threatening to engulf the country. Many people are struggling to feed their families.

According to Reuters, there were 162 lootings across Venezuela in January, including 42 robberies of trucks.

Last month, eight people were killed in lootings.

Venezuela has one of the world's highest murder rates and the attacks are pushing up food and transport costs.

The truckers are not allowed to carry guns so have resorted to forming convoys to protect themselves.

They text each other warnings about potential trouble spots and keep moving as fast as possible.

More than 2,000 additional military officers will be deployed to control the hundreds of dirt-road crossings known as 'trochas' that dot Colombia's 1,370-mile (2,200-kilometer) border with Venezuela

Curse of the black gold. When a country relies too much on oil money. Like Nigeria, like Venezuela.
