Venezuela pill shortage triggers rise in teenage pregnancies
By Katy WatsonBBC South America correspondent, Barquisimeto
In downtown Barquisimeto, Margaret Khawan's pharmacy is looking a bit empty these days.
What products she does have she has spaced out along the shelves to make them look a bit fuller.
Ms Khawan has not had any deliveries of contraceptive pills for a year.
Every day people come looking for them and every day she has to turn them away. People are having to adapt.
"It used to be just men buying condoms but women are buying them too now because there's nothing else," she says. "The price of condoms has gone up 200%."What products she does have she has spaced out along the shelves to make them look a bit fuller.

This IS an international disaster. They'll be heading our way with a sob story and some leftwingnut judge will let them in.
