In this November 14, 2019 photo, a boy returns a hose into a jug after siphoning gas into the family car in the “Altos de Milagros Norte” neighborhood in Maracaibo, Venezuela. The downfall of Maracaibo and the lake by the same name has been especially brutal. It was once the hub of Venezuela’s thriving oil industry. Critics blame two decades of socialist rule for destroying the oil industry, that today produces a fraction of what it did at its height two decades ago. The Venezuelan government blames U.S. sanctions for many of its problems. (Photo by Rodrigo Abd/AP Photo)
