Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido makes a new promise to deliever aid, reiterating a promise that he was forced to renege on just over a month ago after security forces resolutely blocked U.S.-backed assistance from passing over the border
CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido said medical aid will be coming into the South American country by Friday, reiterating a promise that he was forced to renege on just over a month ago after security forces resolutely blocked U.S.-backed assistance from passing over the border.
Francesco Rocca, the head of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, also said that the organization could start helping about 650,000 people by next month.Sign Up The federation can only do its job in the country of about 30 million without “interference from anyone,” Rocca said, referring to concerns that aid could be used by one of the dueling factions in Venezuela to benefit a political cause. “The distribution has to be neutral.”
Venezuela’s dire conditions, fueled by what the opposition and many experts say is government corruption and mismanagement, have forced more than three million people to leave the country in recent years. Many left behind struggle to afford supplies of food and medicine amid rampant inflation.
