Peru sent 14.5 tons of humanitarian aid to Venezuela, including food, supplies, and household goods, as assistance to those affected by the recent earthquakes in the country.

The shipment was made via a Peruvian Air Force plane, bringing items such as rice, noodles, vegetable oil, bottled water, as well as tents, warm clothing, supplies, and household goods.

Luis Vásquez, head of the National Institute of Civil Defense, indicated that 50 tents, each with the capacity to shelter five people, were dispatched. He added that “the aid being sent is in accordance with a procedure, whereby it is made available to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so that they can report on the support provided to Venezuela. We are fully prepared to dedicate all our resources to help.”

Regarding food and non-alcoholic beverages, key sectors for the population’s quality of life, prices registered a 12.6 % increase.

According to the regulatory body, “Venezuela has accumulated twelve months with double-digit inflation rates, with January’s being the highest in that period, as well as the highest in exactly three years.”

One of the main causes for the price increase is the rise in the dollar exchange rate. “The price of the dollar on the official market went from 301.37 to 473.87 bolivars in the first quarter of the year, an increase of 57.2 %, which also represents a 36.4 % devaluation of the Venezuelan currency, the bolivar, against the US dollar.”

On the other hand, the monthly minimum wage has been 130 bolivars since March 2022, and it faces constant erosion due to inflation and devaluation.
