39 ?

The following article explains how the death toll has risen to 39 in this past April and what governmental measures have been taken. It also gives a voice to some interviewed Venezuela’s that are tired after the foul conditions of the country these past years. They complain over the increasingly insecurity problem and the general shortage of food on a national level. It describes some of the deaths that have happened recently in the national territory.

The fact that the government has gotten stricter and started militarizing zones is a sing (for me) that there are getting more worried as time goes by. The forces controlled by the government are constantly getting bolder in the places close to a barricade. Kids and the elderly have been badly hurt in the last couple of days. Whether  it is by inhaling  smoke and gas from the gas bombs or when they get close to the cross fire, hospital have been felling up more and more each day, and when the hospitals are in an awful state things can get complicated

It is implied that the count is actually higher than 39 but that the government has done everything in its power to hide this facts. The usual deaths by insecurity and lack of a proper health care are still going on at the same time as the complicated situation on the streets.
