| Contesto |
In Venezuela, the structural causes that originated the socio-economic and humanitarian crisis 10 years ago persist. Limitations persist in access to safe water, electricity, health, domestic gas, among others in both urban and rural areas. The increase in inflation during 2023 places the minimum wage at less than USD 5 per month, while the cost of the basic food basket stood at USD 523 in May. According to national reports, 12.5 million Venezuelans have suffered severe water supply interruptions; and 6.9 million go a month or more without water. Colombia remains to be the main receiving country of Venezuelan migrants with over 2 million people. Refugees and migrants face difficulties in accessing essential health services in health, shelter, water, education and food. Ecuador is the second "transit" country in the region and in October 2022, a new increase in inflows from Peru was evidenced. The majority of the migrant population continues to identify food, shelter/shelter, employment/livelihoods, health, documentation and education as their main needs. In Peru, there are thousands of venezuelan families in precarious conditions and, at the border points prioritised in the project, migrants require health care, water, sanitation and hygiene, food and legal assistance. |
