Noting that the plan “only represents a limited number of all people in need”, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said that 223 million USD was required from donors to achieve the goal. Peter Grohmann, Humanitarian Coordinator for Venezuela, said in the strategy’s foreword that the HRP includes 1.2 million girls and boys, needing aid in the areas of health, water, sanitation and hygiene, food security, nutrition, protection, shelter and non-food items and education. Mr. Grohmann called on donors to support the HRP and said this HRP provides an internationally recognized framework for a principled, transparent, well-coordinated and effective response, targeting the most vulnerable people.
