IsraAid reports that it has entered Venezuela and is already working in Caracas and La Guaira, following last week’s devastating earthquakes.
It says it is conducting rapid needs assessments with local partners, distributing urgent aid supplies, installing water filters, and providing mental health and protection support and guidance in affected communities.
On Tuesday, the aid group’s team installed emergency water filters and ran emotional support and wellbeing sessions for children at a displaced persons’ camp housing 700 people in La Guaira, the area worst affected by the earthquakes.
IsraAID’s team in Venezuela includes experts from its mission in neighboring Colombia and its global Emergency Response Team.
