UN humanitarian office details support for Venezuela flood relief
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs (OCHA) has made available emergency cash grants totalling $280,000
and reports contributions of more than $12.6 million towards urgent flood
relief in Venezuela, an OCHA statement said today.
Since the onset of the disasterous floods, a UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination team (UNDAC) has been helping the Office of the UN Resident Coordinator in the country to plan assistance efforts. OCHA also sent disaster management experts to help coordinate emergency relief and plan international assistance during the transition from relief to rehabilitation, the statement said.
