A child’s scraped knee a life or death matter in Venezuela

Hannah Dreier, reporter, Ariana Cubillos, photographer, and Vicente Marquez and Ricardo Nunes, videographers, Caracas, Venezuela, for being the first to get inside access to hospitals in Caracas for a powerfully reported story about unhealthy conditions. It was at considerable personal risk, with Dreier shaken down for money in a stairwell and threatened with deportation or jail. Guards threatened to strip-search Cubillos to find photo memory cards (which she was hiding in her bra). And all of them faced the health risk of being in a filthy hospital that may have been contaminated with an antibiotic-resistant bacteria. http://apne.ws/2dGMQsa
