Through his official Telegram channel, the high-ranking official detailed that the National Government maintains 106 temporary camps operational in the most affected areas. These facilities have a total installed capacity to safely house 25,351 citizens while permanent housing solutions are being coordinated.
The sectoral authorities shared a technical breakdown of the shelter spaces, revealing a concentrated logistical effort in the central region of the country.
In La Guaira, authorities installed 28 camps that currently attend to 10,497 citizens. Rodríguez specified that technical crews are working rapidly to expand 5 of these structures to optimize living conditions for the displaced population.
In Caracas, the national capital, authorities reported 40 camps assigned. These facilities house 7,978 people, operating with available margin against a total installed capacity of 11,229 spots. The capital’s infrastructure has allowed for additional intake if necessary.
Miranda state maintains 28 temporary camps active with a global capacity for 3,553 people, where authorities currently provide shelter to 1,661 nationals. The state’s response infrastructure remains prepared for further needs.
In Aragua, authorities have enabled 10 shelter facilities with a limit of 750 citizens. Currently, these structures provide direct refuge to 721 families, operating near full capacity in that region.
Text reads: “We checked a plot in Caribia City where temporary single-family camps will be established. These spaces will not be human deposits; they will have green areas, courts and entrepreneurial zones for our people.”
Essential Services Guaranteed
The Sectoral Vice-president emphasized that management in these temporary shelters extends beyond physical protection under a roof. Multidisciplinary social teams remain deployed permanently across all 106 points to coordinate food distribution, primary medical care, psychological support and recreational activities directed especially at the affected child population.
The Venezuelan government has prioritized a comprehensive approach to the humanitarian emergency, recognizing that displacement due to natural disasters requires multidimensional attention. Medical brigades conduct daily rounds in the camps to detect and treat illnesses, while psychologists offer containment therapy for families who lost homes and, in some cases, loved ones.
The 106 camps now operational serve not only as temporary housing but as hubs for the distribution of essential supplies, medical care, and psychological support for thousands of families who lost their homes.
Authorities continue assessing structural damage across the affected regions while working on medium-term solutions for those displaced. The government confirmed that evaluations of damaged housing are underway to determine which structures can be repaired and which require complete reconstruction.
