Chinese cargo plane arrives in Venezuela with materials and supplies for hospitals of Venezuelan national public system
Humanitarian aid from China is unpacked and moved as it arrives at Ramp 4, an auxiliary landing strip in Maiquetia, Venezuela, Thursday, May 16, 2019.
The delivery of 58 tons of medical supplies was another tacit recognition from the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro that the country faces a humanitarian crisis. This is the fourth plane that arrives in Venezuela as part of the cooperation agreement between the two nations. Hospitals in Venezuela often operate without essential supplies, asking patients to bring in surgical gear and medicine. Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Monday that Moscow was ready to play a role in talks between the Venezuelan government and opposition in Oslo if the participants felt it was useful.
