Health-care professionals, refugees and aid groups describe the deteriorating conditions.
By Karen DeYoung Karen DeYoung Associate editor and senior national security correspondent Email Bio Follow April 4 at 12:01 AM Venezuela’s health system is in “utter collapse,” according to a report, including the exponential spread of vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles and diphtheria and “dramatic surges” in infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis.
Humanitarian aid to Venezuela has been slow, compared to the need, because of the intransigence of President Nicolás Maduro — who has blamed deprivations on U.S. sanctions and refused to allow anything beyond a trickle of assistance to enter the country — and the reluctance of some donors to allow assistance to be distributed by the Maduro government.
A contact group of the European Union and eight E.U. member states, along with four Latin American countries — most of them among the 54 countries that have recognized Guaidó — has called for new elections. “The United States continues to seek ways to provide humanitarian assistance for the Venezuelan people,” Abrams said. “The regime should get out of the way, and stop blocking most assistance and politicizing the amounts that have been available.”
