The Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council and the Alava Provincial Council have approved a 50,000 euro grant to address humanitarian needs following the earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24.

The operation will be managed by Unicef Basque Country Committee, focusing on guaranteeing access to essential water, sanitation, and hygiene services. The project will be implemented over six months in the states of Distrito Capital, Miranda, La Guaira, Carabobo, and Yaracuy.
The earthquakes caused widespread damage to basic infrastructure, increasing health risks. The funding will cover the distribution of essential supplies, including water tanks, purification tablets, and family hygiene kits for those affected.
The Alava Emergency Fund serves as a solidarity instrument for rapid response to global humanitarian crises. Unicef, which has been working in Venezuela since 1967, will utilize its established operational structure to deliver this emergency response.
