Why?
According to UNHCR, over three million people have
departed from Venezuela to other countries in the
Americas by air, land or sea; over 5,000 Venezuelan
nationals daily cross the different borders in the
subregion. This is one of the largest migrations from
a single country in the recent history of the region.
Migrants experience situations of vulnerability as they
are exposed to human trafficking, abuse, exploitation and violence This Emergency Appeal seeks funds to
reach this population with a range of
services that are aimed at preserving the
dignity of people on the move and
strengthening their wellbeing. This operation
aims to provide humanitarian aid in the
following areas of focus: shelter; livelihoods
and basic needs; health; water, sanitation
