Doctors protest for aid

Doctors protested at the entrance to a bridge blocked by their nation’s military to demand that humanitarian aid be allowed to enter. Carrying a giant Venezuelan flag, about two dozen doctors in white coats called on the military to remove a tanker and two cargo containers blocking the Tienditas International Bridge where humanitarian aid provided by the United States is being stored. The doctors protested on the Colombia side of the border, saying they would face repercussions for holding a similar demonstration on the Venezuelan side.
