Several Member States have sent rescue workers to Venezuela.

The European High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, revealed on Sunday that the European Union has mobilised EUR 5 million to provide emergency aid to the affected regions in Venezuela. According to Kallas, the European Civil Protection Mechanism has also been activated, allowing several member states to send search and rescue teams, firefighters and doctors, among others.

The head of European diplomacy has assured us that the Copernicus satellite system of the European Union bloc is assisting emergency teams in mapping the damage and channelling aid to where it is most needed.

Kallas has had a telephone conversation with the President in charge of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, to whom he has conveyed "all the solidarity of the EU" following the major earthquakes that have struck the country and conveyed his condolences "to the families of those who have lost loved ones."
