Certainly having more chidren can help solve the problem!
It's hard to believe a man that is as fit as he is with good size muscle is starving. I understand he works, but if you say your kids are starving and you look like that. Maybe you're the problem
Don’t come to the United States!
US sanctions are doing an amazing job hurting poor people in Venezuela too, not just their corrupt government.
Why is the world silent and not helping them?
Oil rich country where is all the money ?
Why aren't they talking about the socialism that put them all here before covid?
It's devastating to see anyone unable to feed their babies. 3 out of 4 Venezuelans are now living in EXTREME poverty?!? That's terrible! Why aren't we doing more to help these people access food???
I would sponcer a family by sending food parcels and basic medications. I really do not think coming to another country is the answer these people need assistance on a major scale. can we not help them to survive in their own lands .
They are all stupid people , they need to learn behavior, this people just can't go to another country and impose their laws.
So, people can't grow food anymore? What's going on in the world? What happened to self-dependency?
And these Americans will say that Asia is poorest 😂😂😂
The lives of Filipinos are the same as the Latinos. We are not so much with other Asian
The consequences of a corrupt government that doesn't work for the people they claim voted for them.
I always tell people when times are good prepare for the bad ones but stockpiling supplies, learning more skills, getting more income by adding another job or two, grow your own food, save money, get physical gold and silver because bad times will happen you can't prevent it.

FOR VENEZUELA'S PRESIDENT

If you know ur suffering why are u having more kids to add to the plate
Thats a lot of kids meanwhile japan and south korea is having a low birth rate.
So take your country back, its called a revolution! Not come to America illegally
Why are they having so many kids in the first place
PORQUE LA GENTE POBRE TIENEN TANTOS HIJOS! NI LOS RICOS TIENEN MAS DE 1 O 2
I have seen peoplr nuilt a 3 bed room housr with wooden garage doors as theirs walls. They can nuilt a housr with pluming and toulets tubs and sinks and electricty in less than a m9nth . There is rwaly no code enforcement in Mexico . Not thr best housing nut it beats living in thr streets or tents. We Americans would be shocked at how creative thesr people are with out goverment involved in every step of their nuilt.
Wow. A real news report. Unexpected from NBC
I know how he can make money 😊 lol he's FINE AF
This is what Venezuela should focus on instead of trying to invade Guyana. If you fail at feeding your own people, you have no grounds to try to colonize another.
Ungreatful when they go 2 other countries they are the worst in trinidad
When they come here they seem ungrateful and spend a lot of money on fancy clothes
That's real Socialism! Poverty for all.
Just like in the United States ?
what about not having kids if you are living in such a dire situation?
Why do these poor people still having kids that they can not even fed Stop screwing very stupid people All those countries are over population
Oh lord Jesus
Everybody is fat, yet they’re starving. Paradoxical.
Quit sending dollars! Send corn! They can eat corn
I will be honest. Especially to the laughable community of venezueleans in Toronto. I will not accept any any type of latino on latino racism. Which exists. Basically an inherent need to discriminate people and reduce them to the way in which your lonely l 0 se r country of many things perceives non nationals. From the way that we are supposed to act to the way we are perceived around women. The worst culture for trying to adhere to Spaniard values is Venezuela and Colombia. Honestly. Almost annoying in the way you seem to think as the alpha , beta and gamma of all that is sucess. Or deservant of sucess. I laugh at how rudimentary small minded and low level of worldliness Colombians and Venezueleans have even towards people of latin america. It is actually sad.
They should stop having kids they cant feed themselves but keep having babies… Idiots
Bs sanctions upon sanctions they can’t sell one barrel of oil who put those sanctions on them who?
I feel bad for anyone truly hungy…but 99% of those they were showing are overweight
birth control isnt expensive
Same here in America. Exactly the same here in America. It’s horrible.
everytime i see a piece about hunger and they interview a family it starts off with the head of household introducing his outrageous number of children when they can't afford to feed themselves.
So what exactly is going on with their government????
They as in the trillionaire global rulers that are above Parliament are doing this all over Europe too. Its an agenda its on purpose. They are evil
Poor getting worse and the rich getting it’s best. That’s reality
All by design smh thanks to the world leaders
And yet Jefferson manages to stay in great shape
why have 5 children, stupid birth control, poor kids
All because a minor cold the media hyped up
😮 5kids ?
Wow 🤩
Venezuela has land go to the fields and start working and create food supply , don't be lasy.
