One month after a series of powerful earthquakes hit Venezuela, the humanitarian situation remains dire. Widespread damage to critical infrastructure—such as hospitals, schools, and water supply systems—has left countless communities without access to basic necessities. The disaster has compounded existing challenges in the region, severely limiting the ability of local authorities and aid groups to respond effectively. With many areas still isolated and damaged roads impeding movement, relief efforts face significant logistical obstacles.

Mook shares firsthand observations from his recent visit, highlighting the ongoing struggles of displaced families and the urgent need for long-term support. He emphasizes that while immediate emergency supplies are vital, rebuilding essential services will require sustained international commitment and coordinated action to restore stability and safety to impacted regions.
