继上月发生强烈双震以来,委内瑞拉受灾社区的局势持续恶化,慢性病患者和腹泻患者数量显著增加 [1]。联合国已发起约 3 亿美元的援助呼吁,旨在协助多达 130 万急需帮助的人员 [1]。目前,非政府组织正在北部拉瓜伊拉州等地提供紧急医疗救治和食品支持 [1]。此次地震共造成 3,889 人死亡 [1],直接造成的物理损失估计约为 370 亿美元 [1]。在受灾严重的拉瓜伊拉州,约有一半的卫生专业人员受到了地震的直接冲击 [1]。
Following a series of powerful double earthquakes last month that killed 3,889 people [1], Venezuela's affected communities are facing an intensifying humanitarian crisis marked by surges in chronic illnesses and cases of diarrhea [1]. The United Nations has launched an appeal for approximately $300 million to assist the estimated 1.3 million individuals who urgently need aid [1]. In response, non-governmental organizations have deployed emergency medical teams and food supplies to northern regions such as Lara state [1]. This disaster has inflicted direct physical damage valued at roughly $37 billion [1], while severely impacting local healthcare capacity; in Lara state alone, 50 percent of health professionals were directly affected by the tremors [1].
