Venezuela remains in a deep crisis under the authoritarian rule of Nicolás Maduro of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela. Maduro, narrowly elected in 2013, began a second term on January 10, 2019 that is widely considered illegitimate. The United States and 57 other countries recognize Guaidó as interim president, but he has been unable to harness that diplomatic support to wrest Maduro from power. Venezuela's economy has collapsed. The country is plagued by hyperinflation, severe shortages of food and medicine, and a dire humanitarian crisis that has further deteriorated in 2020 as a result of gasoline shortages, an outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and strengthened U.S. sanctions.
A comprehensive, best practices resource for public health and healthcare practitioners and students interested in humanitarian emergencies.
"The massive emigration of Venezuelans has generated the largest migration crisis of its kind in recent Latin American history. The Venezuelan Exodus provides an overview of where the more than 2.3 million Venezuelans who have left the country since 2014 are now living, the conditions they face, their prospects of obtaining legal status in host countries, and applicable international standards that should guide host governments' response."--Page 4 of cover.
Given the rapidly changing political environment in Venezuela, and the ongoing reluctance of the Maduro administration to recognize continuing challenges or seek external assistance for health, many experts anticipate the health situation in Venezuela will remain difficult for the foreseeable future. With an expanding malaria outbreak affecting states across the country, shortages of food and essential medicines reported in all areas, dire economic forecasts, and mounting political uncertainty, the possibility that Venezuela's situation could deteriorate into an internationally recognized humanitarian crisis, with extensive violence, population displacement, and considerable loss of life, should be carefully considered. Taking into account both the gravity of Venezuela's health situation and the currently limited options for international engagement, the United States and the international community must work through multiple channels to continue to find ways to support the Venezuelan people in meeting their basic health needs.
