But violence also erupted at the border with Colombia, underscoring the risks Mr. Maduro’s adversaries are taking in their campaign against him.
A pickup truck of aid crossed into Venezuela from the northern Brazilian town of Pacairama, in what opposition figures said was a small but symbolic puncture of Mr. Maduro’s pledge to keep unauthorized assistance out.
“We did it,” said María Teresa Belandria, who is the Brazil envoy of the Venezuelan opposition leader, Juan Guaidó. “This is a major victory.”

Mr. Guaidó, the 35-year-old leader of the opposition who claims to be Venezuela’s rightful leader, said from the Colombian side of the border that he hoped the Venezuelan security forces would stand aside and allow the aid in.
“Anyone who is not on the side of the people and who prevents the entry of humanitarian aid is a deserter who betrays our people,” Mr. Guaidó said in a Twitter post. “Those who accompany us to save the lives of Venezuelans are true patriots.”

The Russians also delivered aid to Venezuela yet the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry was denying it. But TeleSur isn't denying the UN, Russian, Chinese aid supplies
You folks should also probably know that Red Cross has refused participation in this "humanitarian aid" delivery and is instead active on their own concerning Venezuela 
Russian aid is also being accepted, but hey let's just go with "Maduro's just a cartoonishly evil Bond villain man that loves to see people starve and this is why foreign intervention is needed!!"

Wanker, we know donations Pay for salarjes, it's not a secret . You even said a lot of it goes to salaries but the link you provided doesn't state that at all. You came in here acting like you had breaking news and it's nothing more than what we already know. They pay people via donations and they are typically not as efficient as they should be with the donations
