UNHCR humanitarian response in Venezuela
Overview
Following devastating earthquakes in June that caused over 6,000 deaths, UNHCR High Commissioner Barham Salih visited Venezuela to strengthen bilateral cooperation and address disaster recovery. The mission focused on reinforcing protection efforts and finding durable solutions for displaced populations and those in temporary shelters.
Building on these efforts, the Venezuelan Ombudsman's Office and UNHCR signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enhance institutional cooperation. This agreement aims to improve protection mechanisms for refugees, stateless persons, and returnees through technical assistance and the decentralization of legal and humanitarian services via the “brigadas defensoriales” (Ombudsman Brigades).
