▲ Venezuelans taking aid from burning trucks
More than 300 people were killed in a clash in the border with Colombia and Brazil, as opposition parties were taking supplies against Venezuela's government against the import of aid goods from the United States and other countries.
"At least two people, including a 14-year-old boy, have been killed and more than 300 people have been injured," the Associated Press quoted AFP officials as saying.
The Washington Post and the Guardian reported that at least four people were killed and hundreds injured.
Juan Guido, the acting president, sent a truck carrying relief supplies from the Cukuta warehouse in Colombia to the Venezuelan border.
The opposition also transported relief goods stored in the northern border city of Parakalaima to a Venezuelan border checkpoint.
The truck entered the Venezuelan territory but failed to pass through the customs checkpoint.
Venezuela fired tear gas and rubber bullets to dissolve opposition lawmakers and opposition supporters who flocked to the border bridge of Francisco de Paula Santander in the border town of Urena, trying to clear the obstacles.
Venezuela's second border town, San Antonio del Tachira, protested at a demonstrator attempting to cross the border to help deliver aid, shooting soldiers and tear gas to protest the protesters, including wearing tires and uniforms and throwing stones.
The demonstrators also took the bus and made a fire when it was not possible to bring relief items from Urena.
Police have burned three trucks loaded with food and medicines and headed to Urena, Venezuela's daily El Nacional reported.
Venezuela, which wielded riot suppression equipment, temporarily shut down three border bridges connecting the Venezuelan and Colombian borders, including directing citizens not to approach the bridge connecting the Venezuela-Colombian border before the East Day.
Venezuelan President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday that his country would not be able to support the withdrawal of foreign troops from Colombia, "
Maduro also said, "Donald Trump is out of Venezuela and Yankee is going home."
Guido, who made the provisional presidential declaration last month on the grounds that the presidential election held last year was illegal, announced a confrontation with the Maduro regime on the day he declared that he would bring relief supplies through land and sea.
The opposition, including the chairperson, argues that many people must accept foreign aid as they suffer from food, medicines, and lack of basic necessities.
The United States and the opposition have shown a cause to reduce the suffering of the Venezuelan people due to the economic difficulties on the face of it, but it is hoped that the aid will lead to the demobilization of the Maduro regime and the military departure.
The Maduro regime, on the other hand, is preventing the humanitarian crisis from happening and bringing in foreign aid, including the United States.
