A severely malnourished 19-year-old girl died in her mother's arms after doctors in Venezuela were forced to turn her away because a massive blackout shut down a hospital.
Heartbroken mother Elizabeth Díaz was forced to carry her daughter's body, weighing just 22 pounds, through the streets to a morgue.
Díaz visited a local Integral Diagnostic Center [CDI] in the northern city of Valencia on Saturday night but was immediately turned away by doctors because their shift had ended because the facility didn't have any electricity.
The mother was advised to visit another medical center in Las Lomas where she was assured the staff could provide treatment for her daughter's cerebral palsy and chronic malnourishment.

The 19-year-old was suffering from cerebral paralysis and chronic malnourishment
According to Díaz, the young woman was repeatedly convulsing and her condition worsened before she felt her daughter's body stiffen.
Upon arriving at the second hospital, the family was shunned at the entrance because it didn't have a functional backup power generator.
Díaz's daughter would die in her arms moments later.
The heartbroken mother then carried her daughter's body through the darkened streets to a local morgue.
The mother's dire economical situation hasn't allowed her to reclaim her daughter's body for a proper burial service.
The images of the 19-year-old's sudden death have gone viral, and it has turned into perhaps one of the lowest points in the ongoing saga that has pitted the Nicolás Maduro regime against a nation that has been pleading for basic necessities like food, water and medicine.

Interim president Juan Guaidó confirmed the deaths of 17 patients, who died inside hospitals during the four-day power outage in Venezuelan. Most of the victims were awaiting treatment for dialysis
The massive power outage left the South American nation without electricity for four days although some of the country's 23 states had sporadic electricity Sunday
Maduro went as far as casting blame on the United States, accusing it of sabotaging the Guri hydroelectric dam in the southeastern state of Bolivar.
The outage left the South American nation without electricity for four days although some of the country's 23 states had sporadic electricity Sunday.
However, it wasn't sufficient enough to avoid the deaths of 17 patients, which were confirmed by interim president Juan Guaidó.

Most of the victims died because they weren't able to receive their scheduled dialysis treatments.
Venezuela's hospitals, already struggling with shortages of supplies and equipment amid an economic meltdown, entered crisis mode on Thursday when the oil-rich South American nation's power system went down.
Public hospitals typically have generators to provide back-up electricity in the event of an outage, but doctors consulted by Reuters said they were either damaged or idled for lack of fuel.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
