Pedestrian and drivers are blocked by a protest of the residents of municipality El Hatillo, who are blocking the streets around their neighborhood after 24 hour without electricity just outside of Caracas, Venezuela, Saturday, April 23, 2016. The power outages have compounded other problems of daily life. The country is already among the most violent in the world, and streets become doubly scary when pitch black. Power outages also knock out service from the water tanks with electric pumps that many Venezuelans use to deal with chronic cuts to running water.(AP Photo/Fernando Llano)
