UN: 200,000 people received aid after Venezuela quake; response plan about 42% funded
Summary
UN briefers said roughly 200,000 people have received humanitarian assistance after a Venezuela earthquake; the humanitarian response plan is around 42% funded and a needs assessment has started to guide recovery and reconstruction.
Farhan told reporters that the UN and partners have reached about 200,000 people with humanitarian assistance and essential services more than five weeks after the earthquake in Venezuela. Aid included hot meals, health care, safe water, shelter, and legal and psychological support for women, children and other vulnerable groups.
He said the Venezuelan government and partners have launched a needs assessment to guide recovery and reconstruction and that the humanitarian response plan is currently about 42% funded, meaning sustained international support will be essential for the months ahead.
Farhan framed the response as an expanding joint effort among the UN, partners, local communities and authorities and asked donors to sustain contributions to keep relief operations running.
