Red Cross to Be Shipping Humanitarian Aid to Venezuela – Health Minister

Venezuelan Health Minister Carlos Alvarado said the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) planned to ship aid to Venezuela every two to three weeks.

“Yesterday, we carried out a technical meeting, while today we are resuming it to discuss distribution. Our friends from the Red Cross say that it is possible to bring one batch of cargo in at least every two to three weeks in order to meet various needs,” Alvarado said, as aired by a Venezuelan state-run TV broadcaster, on Wednesday.

 The minister added that supplies from Russia and China, which have previously provided humanitarian assistance to Venezuela, were on their way to the South American country.
