Will Time magazine put this photo of a starving Venezuelan on its cover, too?By Monica ShowalterSometimes, photos shock the conscience.
Such as this one, from a little town in northeast Venezuela called Cantaura, posted on Twitter by a young Venezuelan woman, Stephanie Nogales:
Nogales, who posted it, says it is real. Which is why it's so shocking. How could this exist? How could someone be so alone and forsaken and without food? That there is actually someone in our hemisphere who walks the earth in that emaciated condition, brought on by weeks and weeks of no food, a living skeleton, so utterly impoverished of flesh and clothes it's impossible to tell if the person is a man or woman, is truly terrible. It should be on the cover of Time, Newsweek and every major media publication to call attention to a terrible humanitarian crisis less than 1,000 miles from our border.
Nogales, who seems to be a level-headed libertarian, based on her posts, says the photo is real, and at this late stage, the person is now being treated.
Yet how did it get to that? Iit still shocks the conscience, especially when you consider that Cantaura is not the black hole of Calcutta. It's actually a pretty little historic town in northeast Venezuela with Venezuelan-inflected Caribbean architecture and a Spanish colonial town square. Starvation like this isn't normal or common.
