---------------------

Hitting a new low of desperation, Venezuelans are now fleeing the country due to hunger, according to the latest figures released by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and other United Nations agencies.

Starvation in Venezuela is on the rise, according to an FAO report on food security and nutrition published last month. Malnourishment there surged sevenfold, from three percent in 2010 to 21 percent last year.

The FAO says Venezuela now ranks second in the hemisphere in terms of malnourishment, with 21.2 percent of the population (6.8 million people) suffering from hunger. Venezuela is behind only Haiti, where 49.3 percent of the population lacks sufficient food.

'Some people eat dog food'


"Some people eat dog food, others even eat stray dogs, or look for food in the trash. People are dying of hunger and diseases that in any other country except Venezuela can be easily cured, because there are no basic medicines," Vallejo said.
