Summary
Project HOPE added services in a new La Guaira community, scaled mobile clinics and delivered more than 1,300 additional primary healthcare consultations in northern Venezuela.
Severe weather briefly disrupted some operations, but the group kept expanding care to meet shifting health needs and curb secondary public health emergencies.
Disease surveillance, WASH support and mental health services remain priorities as more than 17,000 people stay displaced or without permanent housing in crowded shelters with limited sanitation.
Nearly 4,500 people have died, and intermittent rain, debris and damaged services are sustaining a high risk of communicable disease as recovery continues.
