For several years now, this crisis has been growing and is drowning us all. With a government that has been in power for more than 18 years and there are still those who have hope that this will change. But what is really happening in Venezuela at the beginning of 2018? Is what the international media say is true or false? Is it possible that there is so much hunger and death due to malnutrition?

Accompany me in this summary of what is happening in Venezuela currently taking into account simply the factors of inflation and news of the country.

Inflation.

According to studies carried out by Ecoanalítica (Venezuelan financial and economic consulting firm), inflation in Venezuela closed in 2017 with 2735%, last year being the most far-reaching, since 2016 closed at 525%.

Inflation measures the rise in prices and is a phenomenon marked by the devaluation of the currency and the loss of purchasing power of citizens.

However, there are other Venezuelan economic indicators such as DolarToday which shows that inflation exceeds 4000%

What reverberates to a bad practice of the economy falling more and more into a tailspin. Complicating day by day the Venezuelan subsistence, as it affects all sectors such as health, transportation, education, food and quality of life.

News.

Below I will show you the most recent headlines of the national news according to the official pages of some Venezuelan media, and I will add your links in case you want to read them after reading my opinion in this post.

As you can see, all sectors are affected by the current situation in Venezuela and that leads to the humanitarian crisis that exists today in the country.

Let's take into account that many times what the international media say is nothing for what the Venezuelan lives.

I am one of the millions of Venezuelans who have gone to sleep with nothing in their stomachs.
I am one of the professionals of the republic that in 1 year has not got a job.
I am one of all the people who have had to go from where they are to their homes walking for lack of public transport.

Friends, remember that I just wanted to summarize two important topics to understand a little more what is experienced in Venezuela, such as inflation and news.

More than that, I call for reflection, and I ask God for the millions of Venezuelans who have had to eat from the garbage, I ask for children and seniors who can not understand this situation, I ask for the fighters who leave without know if they will see their families or not in the future, and finally, I ask God for those of us who remain here in Venezuela, surviving.

Thanks for reading me.
