$1.44B Needed For 2021 Venezuela Response-Devex

The International Organization for Migration and the United Nations Refugee Agency on Thursday launched a $1.44 billion appeal to meet the needs of Venezuelan refugees and migrants and host communities in 2021. As COVID-19 has badly battered Latin America and the Caribbean, the number of Venezuelans in need has increased while appeals have remained underfunded. Many refugees and migrants rely on informal employment that has disappeared during the pandemic, leaving them unable to pay rent, purchase basic supplies, or access health care. Devex, 12/12/2020
