US orders family members of Caracas embassy staff to leave Venezuela

The Government of the United States on Thursday ordered family members of the US embassy staff stationed in Caracas to leave Venezuela due to the ongoing violence and the lack of food and medicine in the country.


The State Department also authorized the "voluntary departure" of US government employees from the American Embassy in Caracas, three days before the controversial elections of representatives to the National Constituent Assembly.
