UK pledges £2 million additional aid to earthquake-hit Venezuela

The United Kingdom has announced an additional £2 million (€2.32 million) in humanitarian aid for Venezuela, which was struck by two earthquakes this week. Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed the pledge during a session in the House of Commons, stating that the government will match public donations to the Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) up to that amount. This comes on top of an initial £2 million already provided. Starmer expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan people, describing the destruction as “heartbreaking.” The UK has also deployed specialized search-and-rescue teams. Starmer, who announced his resignation last week, remains in power until a new Labour leader is elected, with Andy Burnham widely expected to succeed him. Source: elnacionalveSource: Infobae
