Chaos turns to uncertainty at Venezuela border

Bloody violence may have subsided for now at Venezuela's blockaded border, but for local people, terror has turned to anxiety about how they will reach the schools and shops they depend on.

In the Venezuelan border town of Urena, Kelly Pinto stared at the Santander Bridge leading to Colombia -- now blocked by a white armored truck.

Like many of her neighbors, she was wondering when it will reopen so she can reach the Colombian city of Cucuta.

"My youngest is really worried. She says, 'Mummy, I want to go to school; mummy, I have an exam," said Pinto, mother of two girls aged eight and 10.

"What am I supposed to do?" she said. "They won't tell us whether they are going to open it or not."

Nearby, a small group of schoolgirls stood with a sign that read, "We want to go to school. Let us pass."
