Making a living from Venezuela's black market

This 24-year-old mother of two gave up her job and now makes a living illegally as a "bachaquera" - literally a giant ant - by queuing all day to buy restricted products which she then sells on the black market.

Picture shows a supermarket in Caracas. The shelves are full but some staples, including rice, toilet paper and medicines, are in short supply.
