US leads Venezuela earthquake response with $300 million in humanitarian aid
- On Monday, the United States boosted humanitarian aid to Venezuela to more than $300 million following twin earthquakes three days ago that killed more than 1,700 people and left 50,000 missing.
- Venezuela faced significant instability after the January ousting of President Nicol; successor President Delcy Rodr maintains an authoritarian system that critics say lacks basic disaster management capabilities.
- Phil Gunson of the International Crisis Group noted Venezuela failed to maintain civil defense basics, stating, "So, you have the worst of both worlds: an authoritarian system without any of the benefits."
- Former civil defense head Rangel asked, "How is it possible that during the worst earthquake in our history, the armed forces are a no-show," as residents report government forces remain largely absent from recovery efforts.
- While the opposition led by Nobel Peace Prize recipient Corina Machado previously demanded change, disaster recovery has become the central focus as elections in Venezuela are now postponed indefinitely.
