The World Health Organization warns that disease outbreaks could occur in Venezuela after deadly earthquakes have left local health services overwhelmed. WHO says the disruption to health systems increases the risk of outbreaks as communities deal with damage, displacement and strained medical capacity. The organization links the heightened risk not only to the immediate impact of the quake but also to longer-standing public health conditions, including reportedly low vaccination coverage in some areas. WHO calls for urgent attention to surveillance, preventive measures and support for affected health facilities to help identify outbreaks early and respond quickly. The warning follows reports that the earthquakes have caused significant damage and stretched emergency and routine care. While WHO emphasizes the potential for outbreaks rather than confirming specific diseases spreading at scale, it urges coordinated action among health authorities and humanitarian partners. The organization’s message focuses on preventing further health deterioration as recovery and emergency response continue.
