Guyana is preparing a coordinated humanitarian response for people affected by earthquakes in Venezuela. President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali announces that a relief vessel carrying CARICOM and Guyana-backed support is expected to depart Guyana next Friday. The ship is described as capable of transporting about 8,000 tonnes of humanitarian supplies.
According to both reports, the announcement comes as Guyana launches a nationwide aid drive and organizes national and regional efforts to assist Venezuela’s recovery. President Ali says the response involves multiple partners, including CARICOM, the private sector, and Guyana’s security services. The initiative is presented as part of an expanded humanitarian effort that is being mobilized in parallel with logistical preparations for the departure of the vessel.
The sources present the move as support for Venezuela following earthquakes that have left thousands of people affected. The coverage does not specify the exact types of supplies or the vessel’s name, but it confirms the timing and the scale of the shipment described by the President.
