Venezuela has some of the worst healthcare in the world, and the coronavirus has only made the situation worse. At one public hospital in Caracas, there's no running water, and a shortage of medicine means cancer patients have to provide their own if they want treatment. We went inside a Venezuela hospital with crumbling infrastructure to see how a 9-year-old cancer patient is coping in such a tough environment.

COVID-19 made a dire situation worse for 9-year old Camila. She has been battling cancer for over a year in Caracas, Venezuela.Shortages and a depreciating currency have caused the price of medicine to spike. And even going to the hospital has become more challenging as officers enforce a strict coronavirus lockdown.Camila's family knows this firsthand.
