*CARACAS, May 29, 2020* - A plane carrying 12 tonnes of humanitarian
aid, aimed at providing nutritional support and improving access to safe
water for thousands of families, has landed in the country to support
the United Nations humanitarian response. With this shipment, the United Nations has brought more than 100 tons of humanitarian assistance to
Venezuela since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks to
generous funding from the international community.

This UNICEF shipment includes 127,000 water purification tablets, 18
water tanks and 40,000 nutritional support packages. These supplies
complement UNICEF's response, which has already delivered some 90 tonnes
of supplies to 189 health institutions, including 38 sentinel hospitals, clinics and community health centres in 13 states.

"This is the second humanitarian shipment from the United Nations in
support of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its socio-economic
impact in Venezuela. These vital supplies will help provide nutrition assistance and access to safe water to thousands of families and will be distributed to health centers and the most vulnerable communities," said
Peter Grohmann, UN Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator in Venezuela. "I would like to thank the Government of the Federal Republic
of Germany for its efforts and for providing the transport for this
important shipment that will help save many lives
