Venezuela

Venezuelans living in Honduras and Honduran citizens have begun collecting non-perishable food, hygiene products, and emergency supplies to send to families affected by earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24.

Honduras's National Congress approved a resolution to provide logistical support for transporting humanitarian donations to Venezuela following recent earthquakes, coordinating the shipment of food, medicine, and essential supplies.

The director of the Association for a More Just Society (ASJ) challenged President Nasry Asfura's decision not to send humanitarian aid to Venezuela following deadly earthquakes, arguing that regional solidarity should prevail in emergencies, while noting that Congress has taken a different stance.

Fourteen Honduran students, mostly from Caracas, were evacuated and taken to the Honduras embassy after Venezuela was struck by earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5, with dozens killed and hundreds injured across the country.

A Honduran court has ordered television journalist César Silva to pay 300,000 lempiras (about $11,200) in damages to a Venezuelan man after a confrontational 2019 encounter, a case Silva says was dismissed under the previous administration but reactivated following the return of the Nationalist Party to power.
