Venezuela is one of the world's largest displacement crisis within the last 3 years. Unofficial sources suggest about 12 to 14 million people have been displaced and are in need of assistance. The socioeconomic crisis in Venezuela has continued to deteriorate throughout 2019, leading to further collapse of basic services, deterioration of health facilities, food security, and nutrition among the population. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is exacerbating an already precarious health crisis for Venezuelan migrants fleeing a collapsed health system at home.
