#CoronavirusGlobalResponse - EU Humanitarian Air Bridge supports Venezuela
As part of the EU's global coronavirus response, an EU Humanitarian Air Bridge operation consisting of two flights to Venezuela has concluded after delivering a total of 82.5 tonnes of life-saving material to supply humanitarian partners in the field. The first flight departed on 19 August from Madrid, Spain to Caracas, Venezuela, while the second flight followed on 21 August.
“The EU continues to stand by the people in need in Venezuela, especially in the current worldwide health crisis. Tackling the pandemic globally is in the interest of all. The EU Humanitarian Air Bridge flights deliver medical equipment and other essential supplies to protect health care and frontline humanitarian aid workers. To ensure aid continues to reach those most in need, it is imperative that humanitarian workers have full and safe access to do their essential job of saving lives,” said Crisis Management Commissioner Janez Lenarčič.
These EU-funded flights are part of the ongoing Humanitarian Air Bridge operations to critical areas of the world. More than 500,000 Venezuelans will benefit from this aid, including children, women, and health professionals. Find a press release with more information here.
