In Playa Grande, La Guaira. Listening to survivors and ensuring scaled-up and coordinated response to meet their needs. My interview with @EFEnoticias:

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Coordination sounds boring. But when disaster strikes, it saves lives.

Responding to Venezuela earthquakes over last fortnight demanded watertight alignment of local authorities, states, search and rescue teams, private sector, and NGOs.

This is the stadium where it happens.

⚫️#EnVideo | Ante la emergencia por los sismos en Venezuela, la portavoz de OCHA Latinoamérica y Caribe, Veronique Durroux, informó que más de 17.000 personas perdieron sus hogares y requieren asistencia inmediata.

Agencias de la ONU y socios internacionales ya trabajan de forma conjunta en el terreno para garantizar servicios básicos, alimentación y refugio, con un foco prioritario en la protección de menores vulnerables y la reunificación familiar.

Nuestra entrevista con @vermal de @OCHAFunds sobre la situación humanitaria en La Guaira.

[OCHA Venezuela @OCHA_Venezuela]

Seguimos en La Guaira después de 5 días desde que los terremotos sacudieron el país.

Aunque ha terminado el plazo crítico de 72 horas, los rescatistas siguen encontrando supervivientes bajo los escombros.

Continuamos trabajando para salvar todas las vidas que podamos.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

More than 12,700 people have been displaced after powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela.

Many are now living in informal shelters, without sufficient safe shelter, food, water, sanitation or clothing.

@UN and partners are delivering urgent relief to people affected.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

To the Venezuelan people, to those whose loved ones are under the rubble, know that we are determined that help gets to you.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Devastating Venezuela earthquakes.

I’m in close contact with our team in Caracas to ensure full and urgent response, including search and rescue support and emergency relief for survivors.

International solidarity coming in. We’ll need all hands on deck.

“Cuba faces an increasingly complex situation with a humanitarian impact. Nowhere is the strain more visible than on the health system.”

Fuel shortages disrupt access to water, food and other essential services, says @EdemWosornu.

More unimpeded support is urgently needed.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

In Cuba, OCHA's Crisis Response Division Director @EdemWosornu visited a community project in Havana where community kitchens are a lifeline for many elderly facing rising prices, limited pensions and economic hardship.

Continued support is essential to help the most vulnerable.

Excellent to connect with thousands of our superb @UNOCHA staff in 50+ countries during our latest Global Town Hall from Somalia.

Another relentless quarter, but we fight on.

En Caquetá, 🇨🇴 Colombia, con el apoyo del Fondo Humanitario Regional, la ONG @LACID_ rehabilitó aulas deterioradas y brindó a docentes, familias y líderes comunitarios herramientas para proteger a la niñez.

Esto es acción humanitaria con liderazgo local.
