Colombians fill up jerry cans with gasol

Colombians fill up jerry cans with gasoline smuggled in a truck in Cucuta, Colombia, in the border with Venezuela on August 24, 2009. In Venezuela the price of oil is 50 times cheaper than in Colombia, and due to the crisis between both countries, Colombians started smuggling along the border. Venezuela will not renew a recently-expired deal that provided Colombia gasoline at cut-rate prices. This situation expanded with cross-border tensions over Colombia's decision to allow US troops and contractors to use seven of its military bases for anti-drug and anti-terrorism operations.
