A month after the earthquakes, the affected area is still receiving support from the Red Cross. The main health threats are no longer from rubble, but from the precarious living conditions of displaced families. These families often lack access to clean water and live in overcrowded shelters with inadequate sanitation facilities.

Health problems are emerging due to poor hygiene and water scarcity. The Spanish Red Cross and Venezuelan Red Cross are working together to assess the situation and detect potential health risks. They are monitoring for respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases.
