Some have walked over 20km (12 miles) carrying their belongings on their backs. Alaa Saleh, a schoolteacher who had fled Gaza City with his wife and six children to Khan Younis, said: "The road is long and difficult, there's no food or water". Videos circulating online show vast areas of destruction in the city's main neighbourhoods. |

| | There is a lot at stake in Venezuela right now. Picture a country where millions of people live in poverty. Basic services, like electricity, are unreliable in many areas. The health system is in crisis, with acute medicine shortages. Millions of people citizens have fled in recent years, many to the US or neighbouring countries.
"Today more than ever we count on President Trump," Machado said today. She hopes through the help of the president, the US, other nations in Latin America and "democratic nations of the world", Venezuela will "achieve freedom and democracy." |
