At least two indigenous Ven- ezuelans were killed by Ven- ezuelan security forces along the border with Brazil. But the situ- ation was worse along the border with Colombia. Two people were killed, and Colombia’s foreign minister said 285 people were injured and 37 hospitalized on the Colombian side of the border after clashes between Guaido supporters and Venezuelan military blocking aid Feb. 23. For the past few years, church groups -- including Venezuela’s bishops -- have urged Maduro to let humanitarian aid into the country to relieve the suffering of Venezuelans facing food and medicine shortages, hyperinfla- tion and crime. Maduro argues the aid would be used to meddle in the country’s affairs.
