VENEZUELA-HOUSING-TOWER OF DAVID

View of the “Tower of David” (L) – an abandoned skyscraper in Caracas that was originally intended to be an office building, but became a ‘vertical slum’ illegally occupied since 2007 – on August 6, 2014. The government started the eviction of the illegal residents last week, and the tower’s destiny will be put to a referendum. AFP PHOTO/JUAN BARRETO
