Venezuela’s opposition-dominated National Assembly declared a state of “national alarm” Monday over the “general calamity” caused by a blackout that has now lasted four days.

Parliament approved a decree proposed by its leader and self-proclaimed acting president Juan Guaido, who is seeking “international cooperation” to help resolve Venezuela’s crisis.
