UNICEF Ready To Assist Children Affected By Floods In Colombia, Panama And Venezuela

UNICEF today said the children's agency is poised to support children and their families affected by the floods that are driving thousands of people from their homes in Colombia, Panama and Venezuela.


The agency would work as part of the United Nations Country teams.


The May-November rainy season in the region has been extremely severe this year as a result of a climatic phenomenon known as La Ni?±a.


UNICEF is ready to support the governments of Colombia, Panama and Venezuela to meet the needs of affected children and families, to provide lifesaving supplies and to protect the children's rights to health, nutrition, protection and education.
