The Venezuela emergency is one of the largest and most far-reaching of our time
More than 7.1 million people have left the country amidst violence and crippling food shortages—making it the biggest exodus in South America’s recent history.
Fleeing families often take irregular routes to find safety, crossing fast-flowing rivers or braving treacherous footpaths to reach their destinations. Many fall prey to smugglers, traffickers and armed groups on the way, and unaccompanied or separated children are particularly vulnerable.
Families are travelling across Latin America and the Caribbean—especially to Colombia, but also to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and beyond. These host countries have been welcoming, but they are increasingly overstretched and some are reaching a saturation point. UNHCR is on the ground across the region and has a strong presence around key border crossing points—protecting fleeing families from danger and providing the essentials they need to survive.
We are protecting the most vulnerable arrivals with shelter, health care and documentation. But we can't do this alone.
Your donation can provide Venezuelans with Refugee Housing Units (RHU).
RHUs are an innovative housing solution now being deployed to Venezuelan refugees in Brazil and in refugee settlements around the world. Refugee families away from their homes require secure shelters that give them the peace of mind they need knowing they are safe. This is especially crucial for women and girls who are at increased risk of sexual and gender-based violence.
Venezuelan families are relying on you. Your UNHCR gift will be 100% tax-deductible.
