The Juan Lovera High School, located in the Las Adjuntas sector, in Caracas, has been transformed into one of more than 94 temporary camps set up by the Bolivarian Government to provide shelter and a helping hand to families affected by the double earthquake in the country.

During his visit to the temporary camp, located in the Macarao parish, in a statement to Venezolana de Televisión, the sectoral vice-president of Planning, Ricardo Menéndez, indicated that the care provided responds to the joint effort of the Venezuelan State and organized communities to meet the needs of the 21 affected families who are in this camp.

In this regard, he stressed that this camp, which is coordinated by the Ministry of the People's Power of Planning, has family registration services, medical care, psychological support, differentiated nutrition and permanent support from different State agencies.

“We see how all the detailed attention is generated. The child who requires a certain diet will have that specific diet. The elderly who require other nutritional components will have them; that is, it is detailed care,” he said.

He said that “we see all the stitching of how the social fabric develops in Venezuela. In the specific case of this area, the two communes that remain in this space are fully organized. Here, for example, there are damages to some houses and possible movements from the point of view of the land, where some bases were affected; the actions were the immediate response of the community.”

Menéndez explained that the camp incorporates a fingerprint registration system that will allow the consolidation of the information of the affected people, regardless of whether they are temporarily staying in other family spaces.

He also highlighted the participation of teams from the Scientific, Criminal and Criminal Investigations Corps (CICPC), health professionals, psychologists, staff of the National Institute of Nutrition and public servants from various agencies that guarantee specialized care in each area.

“We have the kitchen of this institution with the dining space; we see a nutritionist from the National Institute of Nutrition, we see the Ministry of Commerce providing equipment to maintain the cold chain and we see how all the detailed attention is generated,” he said.

During his statements, the sector vice-president reiterated the call to release resources belonging to Venezuela that remain held abroad, considering that they would make it possible to strengthen recovery efforts and expand the capacity to respond to situations such as those caused by the recent earthquakes.

“We are going to work with what we have, but those resources that are outside the country belong to Venezuelan women and we ask that they be released,” he said.
