An internal report by the UN recently revealed that 24% of Venezuelans (approximately 7 million people) require urgent humanitarian aid because they lack access to food and medicine.
According to UN calculations, 3.7 million people have malnutrition in the country, 3 times more than in the period 2010-2012, and at least 22% of children under 5 years of age suffer from chronic malnutrition.
