Venezuela is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that is consequently causing a mass exodus of its people. Over the last decade, there has been an exorbitant increase in violence and insecurity, medicine and food shortages, poverty, inflation, political instability, as well as deterioration of currency, infrastructure, and human rights. To date, 4 millions Venezuelans have fled the country, thousands of children are at risk of dying from malnutrition, and people are contracting formerly eradicated diseases. In addition, trafficking of women for sex and forced labor is increasing throughout the region.
In response, many neighboring countries and international organizations have put forth solutions to alleviate the need that Venezuelans in and out of the country face on a daily basis. Additionally, thousands of volunteers and organizations who travel to the Venezuelan border play an active role in delivering donations collected by foreign countries.
