CARACAS, VENEZUELA - FEBRUARY 10, 2017:  Julay Vel&iacute;z, 24, feeds her baby Genesis pieces of crushed ice cream cones that she salvaged from the trash, because she struggles to buy enough food to feed herself and her baby and must supplement their diet with food scraps from the garbage. The 2016 ENCOVI (Survey on Living Conditions in Venezuela) found that a skyrocketing percentage of Venezuelan families are struggling to acquire enough food to eat.  Over 90% of the over 6,000 families surveyed reported not having enough income to buy all the food they need. A shocking 73% of survey respondents reported involuntarily weight loss, an average of 8.7kg each for those that said they involuntarily lost weight.  Food and medicine shortages, skyrocketing inflation and the collapse of social programs are causing working class families that once supported the government and Hugo Ch&aacute;vez&rsquo;s socialist revolution to increasingly become disillusioned with the government, and its commitment to the poor. Many once die-hard Chavistas say they feel abandoned, and no longer support the government. PHOTO: Meridith Kohut
