A disturbing video shows an armored car crashing through a crowd of protestors in Caracas, Venezuela, as a months-long riot continues.
The video El Nacional published Wednesday shows the armored personnel carrier driving through a small group of protestors then backing away after it gets hit with a gasoline bomb. At least one protestor was severely injured after getting stuck underneath the armored car, NBC News reports.

The U.S. Senate is considering a $10 million humanitarian aid package to help Venezuelans struggling to feed themselves and their families as Venezuela’s infrastructure continues to collapse.
“It is in the strategic interest of the United States to support the restoration of democracy in Venezuela and work with regional partners to put the country back on a path to peace, prosperity and stability,” Maryland Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin, one of the bill’s sponsors, said in a statement Wednesday.
