Thousands of people affected by earthquakes in Venezuela last month are increasingly struggling to access clean water and adequate sanitation and hygiene services, according to multiple outlets. Reporting focuses on La Guaira’s beaches, where displaced survivors improvise makeshift solutions such as showers and toilets amid ongoing water shortages. The accounts describe a growing public health challenge as earthquake impacts compound existing difficulties in obtaining drinking water and maintaining proper hygiene. Rather than functioning municipal systems, survivors rely on temporary arrangements to manage basic sanitation needs. While the reports do not cite specific figures for water availability or the number of days shortages have persisted, they broadly agree that the situation is deteriorating for many of those displaced by the quake. The outlets present the improvisation by survivors as a response to the lack of reliable water supply and sanitation infrastructure in the areas where people are staying.
