| Dayana Zambrano's belly is remarkably small for a woman nearly nine months pregnant.
Malnutrition suffered due to Venezuela's downward economic spiral forced her to move to Colombia for medical attention -- so she could give birth without it becoming a matter of life and death.
She journeyed more than 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) by bus from eastern Venezuela's Ciudad Bolivar to reach Cucuta, Colombia for medical care, one of many pregnant Venezuelans looking outside their crisis-stricken country's borders for vital care.
She recently arrived at the university hospital Erasmo Meoz with an excessively low weight for her advanced stage of pregnancy.
