DPI – A vessel capable of transporting 8,000 tonnes of humanitarian supplies is expected to depart Guyana next Friday carrying relief items for earthquake-stricken Venezuela, as Guyana intensifies a national and regional response to support its neighbour’s recovery efforts.
President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali made the announcement on Saturday during a social media address outlining Guyana’s coordinated humanitarian operation and regional mobilisation effort following the devastating earthquakes.
The president said the vessel’s large carrying capacity has allowed Guyana to expand the operation beyond national support to include contributions from across CARICOM.
