Venezuela crisis: Brazil vows to deliver aid, defying Maduro
20 February 2019
Brazil says it will send humanitarian aid to its border with Venezuela by the weekend, despite the protests of embattled President Nicolás Maduro.
The delivery and distribution of the aid is being organised by Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó, the Brazilian presidential spokesman said.
Mr Maduro denies there is a crisis in Venezuela and calls the growing aid operation a US-orchestrated show.
Venezuela also closed its sea and air border with Curacao.
The Dutch Caribbean island, off Venezuela's north coast, is planning to host US aid.
