Heavy rains in La Guajira, Colombia compound Venezuelan refugee crisis
November 2, 2018
Heavy rains in La Guajira, Colombia have resulted in flooding that has affected thousands of people, including refugees from neighboring Venezuela. The region's proximity to the border has made it home to many Venezuelan refugees who have fled their country's economic crisis. We are providing medical assistance to refugees and local residents affected by the flooding. Over 500 patients have already been treated. Please consider supporting our relief work in the region.
