Why this matters
The devastating earthquakes in Venezuela have brought to the forefront the critical need for sustained humanitarian support, particularly in shelter, health, and protection. With over 3,800 people dead and thousands more injured, the international community's response will be crucial in addressing the long-term effects of this disaster. The UN's appeal for an additional $298 million to support 1.3 million people over the next six months highlights the scale of the crisis. Of particular concern is the wellbeing of affected children, with Save the Children reporting signs of acute distress among the roughly 680,000 affected youngsters. As humanitarian actors transition from the emergency phase to a more sustained response, prioritizing the protection of vulnerable populations, including children, women, and people with disabilities, will be essential in mitigating the risks of family separation, gender-based violence, and exclusion from assistance.
