## Resource

Venezuela reels from the devastating twin earthquakes, as survivors—some with nothing left, others just seeking care—flock to NGOs for aid. Mobile clinics, kitchens, and field hospitals have sprung up in La Guaira, while the UN calls for $300 million to assist 1.3 million people. Beyond broken bones, chronic illnesses and infections are surging due to overcrowding and poor sanitation. Doctors report spikes in skin issues, diarrhea, and unmet needs for diabetes and hypertension meds—like for 67-year-old Irma Echarri, who lost access to her prescriptions. The crisis also hits health workers hard: half in La Guaira were directly affected, some even killed. Amid billions in infrastructure damage, NGOs now operate with unprecedented freedom—a stark shift from past repression—as relief efforts prioritize saving lives over politics.
