KEY RESPONSE MESSAGESPolitical, human rights and socio-economic develop-ments in Venezuela continue to lead to the exodus of millions of refugees and migrants—nearly 5.2 million as of Sept. 5, 2020. About 100,000 Venezuelans have opted to return to the country during the pandemic, despite border restrictions and increased risks.

Venezuela is among the least prepared countries to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, as it lacks basic supplies needed to prevent infection and treat illness. Meanwhile, economic shutdowns and border closures have prompted migrants to once again take to the illegal crossings, exposing children and women, in particular, to increased risk of trafficking and abuse. This is particularly acute at Colombia’s border with Venezuela. The international community should focus on humanitarian aid towards Venezuela, applying humanitarian law and obligations, and try to prevent a health disaster across much of Latin America.

In response to the crisis brought on by COVID-19-prevention measures, World Vision is requesting US$3 million to increase response activities inside Venezuela. We are working to reach 50,000 people through multi-purpose cash assistance. This allows them to buy essential supplies like food, medici-ne, and personal hygiene items. We are focused on the most vulnerable people in Venezuela.

Migrants’ needs under COVID-19 are accentuated by higher risks of income loss, housing eviction, exploita-tion, human trafficking and others. In a recent World Vision assessment conducted in 7 countries in South America, 70% of Venezuelans had to change their housing arrangements because they could no longer afford it and looked for a cheaper solution, shelter or remain on the street. In this context every third child reported going to bed hungry. Governments need to ensure that humanitarian organizations have access to communities, migrants and refugees to provide basic assistance alongside the governments.

World Vision’s 7-country response aims to raise US$80 million to reach 700,000 people from January 2020 through December 2022. That includes reaching 200,000 regionally and 40,000 in Venezuela between October 2019 and September 2020.

Chile: COVID-19 has exacerbated the risks, threats and vulnerabilities migrant and refugee families face. They are among the most affected by the pandemic, due to lack of social integra-tion, widespread job and income loss and greater risk of evictions from their homes.

Brazil: Humanitarian organizations are re-adap-ting operations to the COVID-19 risks in order to continue supporting Venezuelans, mainly in health and livelihoods sectors. The economy has gradually re-actived, re-opening job opportuni-ties for migrants. 29 municipal governments in 7 states are participating of the first edition of "MigraCidades”, led by IOM with the goal of improving the naturalization process for migrants in the country. Though economic activi-ty has resumed at limited levels, borders remain closed and there is no sign they open soon. Venezuelans struggle to access social protection programs, mainly for lack of knowledge of how to register themselves. Peru: During the coronavirus pandemic, World

Vision Peru has continued working to address needs of the most vulnerable migrant and refugees, including interventions in the following areas: Multipurpose cash; Non-Food Items, provi-ding cleaning kits to feeding centers, and integra-tion, through the USAID-funded project that helps doctors get their certification to practice in the country. The strategies are taking into account the current pandemic situation in which we live and seek to reduce the levels of vulnera-bility of the migrant population.

Ecuador: As the country gradually opens up, refugee and migrant livelihoods remain a priority. Several partners have reactivated some programs by strengthening capacities for employ-ment and entrepreneurship, as well as financial support for economic inclusion. Food-security assistance continues to expand, while several strategies have been registered for the payment of rents and the opening of temporary shelters in July and August. The pandemic also has widened the gap in access to education for Venezuelan children.

Colombia: The sanitary emergency declared due to COVID-19 has hindered thousands of Venezuelan households in their ability to meet basic needs. Evictions, lack of work and food have caused the return of at least 100,000 people to Venezuela. Tens of thousands more are expected to return, according to the Colombian migratory authorities. The border areas have received around 1,200 buses with people seeking re-entry into Venezuela through the border crossings. This situation has given rise to serious overcrowding along the border. As such, the need for advocacy and support from humanitarian actors remains key in order to attend to their needs.

Venezuela: Venezuela has recorded more than 73,000 infections and 614 deaths from COVID-19. An InSight Crime report revealed that distributors cross the border into Brazil to buy food and resell it in Venezuela at inflated prices; this, despite alleging that they are products bought for humanitarian reasons. Harsh condi-tions have been reported for returned migrants, who are quarantined under military control. Millions struggle daily to obtain basic food in a context of power outages, water shortages and the constant risk of exposure to COVID-19. Some officials have called the returning migrants “biological weapons” and say they are sent by the Colombian government to infect the population.

Cundinamarca (Bogotá D.C.), Antioquia, Atlántico and Valle del Cauca are the departments with the majority of these cases. 85% of the venezuelan population affected by COVID-19 say they do not have health insurance.
