Venezuela requests UNDP assistance to boost housing construction
The earthquakes in Venezuela caused the loss of thousands of homes, prompting the government to request assistance from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to implement a reconstruction plan and provide immediate support to the affected population
The Venezuelan government requested assistance from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for housing construction following the earthquakes.
Although the actual number may exceed the estimate, some 17,345 people lost their homes during the earthquakes of June 24. Therefore, the authorities have requested support from the UNDP to initiate an immediate response plan, as reported by acting president Delcy Rodríguez on Sunday, July 5.
Rodríguez contacted the UNDP Administrator, Alexander De Croo, thanking him for the organization’s “willingness to support Venezuela in its response to the earthquakes, which left at least 3,342 dead and 16,740 injured.”
The president also requested support “for promoting educational programs, as well as job training and employment for the affected communities.”
