WHO Reports Venezuela's Healthcare System Strained After Deadly Earthquakes

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that Venezuela's healthcare system is facing severe strain in the aftermath of last week's deadly twin earthquakes. Hospitals are damaged, and many are experiencing staff shortages, leading to chaotic service delivery, overcrowding, and a growing backlog of surgeries. Additionally, there is a critical lack of obstetric care due to missing maternity staff, and displaced populations face heightened risks of disease outbreaks like yellow fever and dengue.
