The Wider Image: Venezuela dialysis patients face uncertain fate after power cuts
Lesbia Avila de Molina, 53, a kidney disease patient, reacts during a dialysis session at a dialysis centre, after a blackout in Maracaibo, Venezuela, April 13, 2019. Avila said she woke up feeling ill one recent morning after receiving just one hour and 40 minutes of treatment the prior day due to lack of power and equipment shortages at her Maracaibo clinic. She said she feels like she is choking when she does not receive full treatment. "I just ask God that if I die, it will not be of choking," said Avila.
