Food supplies, hygiene kits and nutritional supplements have been stockpiled near the Venezuelan border in Cucuta, Colombia. "Our principal task is to reach a million volunteers by February 23," Guaido said in a message to the 600,000 supporters who have signed up so far for the push to bring aid in. So "humanitarian aid is the best thing for Venezuela at this time," Hernandez said. Guaido, in a tweet, thanked Rubio for his "noble effort to achieve humanitarian aid." Guaido repeated his call on Venezuela's military -- whose support for Maduro has been crucial -- to let the aid pass.
