(Israel21c) Abigail Klein Leichman - Israeli humanitarian aid agency IsraAID has dispatched an emergency response team to Cucuta, on Colombia's border with Venezuela, where around 5,000 Venezuelans cross every day seeking relief from the continued economic and political crisis in the country. IsraAID's response plan will include child-protection and back-to-school activities, community resilience-building and psychological support, hygiene and sanitation promotion and relief distribution. IsraAID currently has active recovery teams across the region, supporting communities affected by the 2018 El Fuego Volcano eruption in Guatemala, the 2017 earthquakes in Mexico, and Hurricane Maria in Dominica and Puerto Rico. IsraAID's emergency response in Colombia is supported by AJC and additional generous donors - see IsraAID Emergency Response Fund.
