CARACAS, July 10. /TASS/. Humanitarian aid from a Russian company has been provided to Venezuela's La Guaira state, the area worst affected by the devastating earthquake on June 24, Russia's Ambassador to Venezuela Sergey Melik-Bagdasarov told TASS.
"Today, in La Guaira state, which suffered the most from the earthquake, together with one of our companies operating here, we handed over to the state government humanitarian aid purchased in Venezuela, including electric generators, medicines, food, drinking water, and basic necessities," the Russian diplomat said. "Governor Jose Alejandro Teran welcomed us and thanked us for this gesture of solidarity," the ambassador added.
Melik-Bagdasarov said that earlier the authorities of Crimea and the mayor of Yalta, who last year visited La Guaira, Venezuela's sea gateway, sent their condolences to Governor Teran. During their visit, the Crimeans took steps to bring the two regions closer together.
The ambassador said that together with the governor, he visited one of the "centers where work is ongoing tirelessly to store, sort, and deliver humanitarian aid to temporary camps for people who have lost their homes." He noted the exceptionally high level of coordination at the humanitarian aid distribution center.
