Venezuela opposition slams raid of NGO that supports humanitarian aid

VALENCIA, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuela's opposition-run congress accused the police on Friday of illegally raiding the headquarters of a non-governmental organisation that supports their plan to bring humanitarian aid into the country and confiscating medicine and baby milk.

The opposition, whose leader Juan Guaido has been recognised by more than 40 countries as Venezuela's legitimate leader, is rallying foreign relief for the country to alleviate food and medicine shortages in the wake of an economic collapse, and has vowed to bring supplies into the country on Feb. 23.
