   CUCUTA, Colombia – The Latest on the political crisis in Venezuela   
   (all times local):   
      
   8:10 a.m.   
      
   Hundreds of Venezuelans have camped out overnight near a bridge in   
   Colombia where humanitarian aid that the opposition will try to   
   deliver inside the country is being stored.   
      
   Oriana Gutierrez says she traveled 14 hours to attend Friday's concert   
   organized by billionaire Richard Branson and wanted to stay through   
   the following day to help bring in aid.   
      
   Early Saturday some Venezuelans were singing their national anthem   
   while others held hands in a prayer circle and asked God to protect   
   their country.   
      
   President Nicolas Maduro has refused to accept the food and medical   
   supplies donated largely by the United States, saying it's part of a   
   larger plot to unseat him from power.   
      
   The opposition is planning to push in the aid using trucks and masses   
   of people along border bridges connecting Colombia to Venezuela.

   Venezuelans frustrated over their nation's crippling food and medical   
   shortages are expected to join opposition leaders Saturday in a   
   potentially risky push to deliver international aid that Nicolas   
   Maduro has refused to accept into the country.   
      
   The opposition is calling on masses of Venezuelans to help trucks   
   carrying the nearly 200 metric tons of humanitarian assistance   
   delivered largely by the United States over the last two weeks across   
   several border bridges in Colombia.   
      
   Once the trucks reach the border they'll face a crucial test: Whether   
   the military standing guard on the other side will let them through.   
      
   Before daybreak Saturday, many national guards in riot gear forced   
   people to move away from the road to the Simon Bolivar bridge   
   connecting Venezuela and Colombia. The Venezuelan government had said   
   that it was closing three of its bridges on the border.
