Venezuela's power crisis is leaving millions without reliable electricity, water and basic services.

Frequent outages and voltage fluctuations are damaging appliances and disrupting daily life, particularly outside the capital, Caracas.

Experts warn that the failing grid is triggering a wider infrastructure breakdown, affecting healthcare, transport and food supply.

With much of the country's power capacity out of service and thousands of yearly interruptions, restoring stability could cost billions of dollars and take years.
