Venezuela's President Nicol谩s Maduro has closed the border with Brazil amid a row over humanitarian aid. The embattled leader said he could also shut the key border with Colombia to stop the opposition bringing in relief.

Many Venezuelans are struggling to afford basic items such as food, toiletries and medicine due to hyperinflation. However President Maduro denies there is any crisis and believes the aid delivery is politically motivated.

But as the 大象传媒鈥檚 Richard Collings now reports, locals are suffering the most as the political crisis drags on.
