PAHO warns that the health crisis remains in Venezuela two weeks after the earthquakes
The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has warned that the health crisis in Venezuela remains severe two weeks after powerful earthquakes struck the country. PAHO Director Jarbas Barbosa highlighted major risks including inadequate medical care, overcrowding in shelters, and lack of access to clean water. According to CNN en Español, PAHO has sent six tons of supplies and deployed 12 operational teams to coordinate with local institutions to expand capacity for those in need. While initial increases in trauma cases have stabilized, Barbosa emphasized that the health emergency is far from over, entering a new critical phase focused on stabilization, continued care, and early recovery. He noted that future health risks could arise not only from earthquake-related injuries but also from disruptions in healthcare services, overcrowding, deficiencies in water and sanitation, and reduced access to vaccines and routine medical care. Over 17,000 people remain displaced, most living in temporary camps where access to basic health services, safe water, sanitation, vaccination, and disease surveillance will be crucial to prevent outbreaks of respiratory and diarrheal diseases.
