Hyperinflation, power cuts and shortages of food and medicine.

The economic crisis has driven millions of Venezuelans out of the country.

Nicolas Maduro's critics blame him for the dire situation, and yet he has been sworn in for a second six-year term as president.

As Maduro embarks on a new term as president, the chaos in the country shows no signs of abating.
