The Venezuelan Red Cross, in compliance with its auxiliary role to the public powers in humanitarian matters and adhering to its Fundamental Principles, began providing humanitarian services to Venezuelans returning to the country from the United States.
Humanitarian assistance began this Monday with the arrival in Venezuela of the first two flights of migrants, to whom the Venezuelan Red Cross through its volunteers and in coordination with the authorities of the national government, was able to provide primary health care services and psychosocial support.
The team made up of 40 multidisciplinary volunteers, doctors and rescuers, accompanied the arrival of the migrants to Maiquetía and gave them personal hygiene kits and snacks, as well as medicines in those cases where it is necessary.
This intervention is part of the response that the Venezuelan Red Cross will be providing to the next flights of migrants returning to the country and is aligned with the humanitarian services provided by the Red Cross Societies to deported people in Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Ecuador and Colombia. These actions are framed in its humanitarian mandate, focused on responding effectively and promptly to the needs of people in vulnerable situations, and protecting their lives and dignity at all times and places.
For this 2025, the Venezuelan Red Cross reaffirms its commitment to strengthen its action and cooperation with the main objective of serving more and better throughout Venezuela, as they have been doing during the COVID-19 pandemic and the natural emergencies in Las Tejerías and Cumanacoa. This is possible thanks to its thousands of volunteers and the collaboration with its partners in the Movement present in Venezuela such as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
