It is heartbreaking to see Venezuelans fleeing in all directions depending on what is close to them - Brazil, Colombia, Curacao, Cuba, Haiti, Trinidad, Peru and those with means, of course, the US and even Canada. Yet, most prefer Colombia because of the language and because they need no visa to enter the country. This article truly expresses many of the frustrations I've seen there while working and helping people. But violence and government repression have escalated so much this year that even NGOs, Human rights activists, diplomats, and almost all foreigners I encountered there are now leaving the country. Just getting a flight ticket there is a real nightmare. 

P.S. The journalists that are covering day-to-day events across Venezuela are some of the bravest people out there. It is not just reporting; it's even finding something to eat and a safe place to stay for a few hours before the next violence comes out. Great for the Globe and Mail to cover these stories.
