Caracas: China on Wednesday offered to help Venezuela bring its collapsing power grid back online as President Nicolas Maduro sought to stave off rising public anger that is bolstering his US-backed rival Juan Guaido.
A vast blackout that struck Venezuela nearly a week ago -- the worst in its history -- has deepened the South American country’s already grave economic crisis, especially by disrupting the supply of drinking water.
Although electricity has since been restored to most of the capital Caracas, water was having to be trucked in, and western swaths of the country remain without power. (AFP)
