Key takeaway Highlights Between 20 and 21 July, IOM continued its multisectoral response in transitory camps and affected communities through interventions in shelter and site coordination, health, protection, WASH and information management.
Why this matters
The earthquake response efforts in Venezuela highlight the critical role of coordinated humanitarian aid in disaster-stricken areas. IOM's multisectoral approach, which includes shelter, health, protection, and WASH services, has reached over 8,500 individuals, demonstrating the importance of a comprehensive response to address the diverse needs of affected communities. The distribution of essential items, such as kitchen sets, tarpaulins, and solar lamps, has likely alleviated some of the immediate suffering, while the provision of medical consultations and psychological support has helped to address the physical and emotional toll of the disaster. As IOM transitions some of its operations to the Norwegian Refugee Council, it will be essential to ensure continuity of services and maintain a strong presence in the affected areas to support the long-term recovery and rehabilitation of the communities.
