Electricity has been restored in all of Caracas and several other regions of
Venezuela after a major blackout, the government said Tuesday -- the latest taste of misery for a country mired in economic crisis.
A nationwide blackout in March lasted a full week, accentuating the woes of people in an oil-rich country that now has shortages of food and medicine and such basics as toilet paper and soap.
There were no interruptions to flights at the Caracas airport but stores closed Monday night as the lack of electricity prevented the use of credit and debit cards.
