THE HAGUE - Several organizations have expressed an interest in using Curaçao as a humanitarian hub to bring relief supplies to Venezuela.
This is according to Minister Stef Blok of Foreign Affairs in response to questions from the Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament. In 2019, the Kingdom also concluded a treaty with the United States on behalf of Curaçao. Although in the absence of cooperation from the Venezuelan authorities, no aid has been sent to Venezuela via Curaçao, the intention is to extend the treaty by one year.
“The hub is available to all organizations that provide humanitarian aid, such as the United Nations or the International Red Cross. This is not currently the case, but various organizations have shown interest in the hub facilities if the situation in Venezuela changes," said Blok.
