UNHCR High Commissioner hopes transition in Venezuela will facilitate return of migrants

On Saturday, October 3, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Barham Salih, visited Venezuela to tour temporary shelters in the northern region and inspect La Guaira, the area most affected by a double earthquake that occurred on June 24. During his visit, Salih met with local authorities to discuss recovery efforts and observed a determination for the country's reconstruction, noting that the path ahead remains long.

In addition to assessing the post-earthquake situation and discussing new international cooperation, Salih expressed confidence during an interview with EFE that an ongoing political transition in Venezuela will foster an environment of security and stability, ultimately facilitating the safe return of displaced migrants.
