In Venezuela, communities affected by recent earthquakes are experiencing a surge in chronic illness and diarrhea. This development is part of a growing humanitarian crisis in the country.

Relief services are being overwhelmed by people in need, including those who were not directly affected by the earthquakes. The United Nations has launched an appeal for aid to support the affected areas.

Further details on the situation and the relief efforts are available from KPRC 2 Houston, including information on the United Nations' appeal and the work of nongovernmental organizations in the hardest-hit areas.
