Desastre en Venezuela está lejos de acabar, advierte Cruz Roja
A month after the June 24 earthquakes in Venezuela, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies warns that the disaster is far from over. The organization highlights urgent needs for safe drinking water, mental‑health support, and primary health care, while noting that only a quarter of the requested 50 million Swiss francs has been received. Red Cross teams have set up a field hospital and an emergency clinic in La Guaira to serve tens of thousands of affected residents.
- ▪The earthquakes left at least 5,398 dead, thousands injured, and hundreds of buildings damaged or collapsed.
- ▪The Red Cross stresses the importance of providing safe drinking water as many families still rely on bottled water.
- ▪Mental‑health services are needed because many survivors suffer from anxiety, fear, sadness, and insomnia.
- ▪Primary health care is critical to prevent epidemic outbreaks and to continue treatment for chronic illnesses.
- ▪Only about 25% of the 50 million Swiss franc funding request for the response has been secured so far.
