Through its World Food Programme, the United Nations hopes to collect $50 million in aid to assist some 500,000 people affected by the earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24.

Stephanie Hochstetter, head of the organization in the country, stated from La Guaira/Vargas State—the most devastated coastal region—that this amount “will not cover the entire disaster.”

According to the official, who spoke via videoconference, the WFP has already distributed emergency rations to thousands of people in the area. She also highlighted that the UN agency “currently has 3,000 metric tons of food stored in the country, enough to feed more than 10,000 families for two months.”

Hochstetter added that the program “is working on local purchases and coordinating with its teams in Colombia the rapid transfer of additional reserves. The goal is to scale up the response to cover half a million people in the coming months.”

The priority is to provide those affected with food, drinking water, shelter, medical assistance, and access to basic services. These efforts will complement the organization’s response during the earthquakes, when it “released $15 million in emergency funds and deployed more than 2,200 rescuers from 25 countries.”
