Venezuela has withdrawn $346 million from its available resources at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to finance reconstruction and recovery efforts following last month's devastating earthquake, according to Israeli news outlet N12.
The earthquake that struck Venezuela last month has caused catastrophic damage, with thousands dead and tens of thousands missing, as The Zioneer has previously reported. International rescue and humanitarian aid efforts have been underway, with contributions from the United States, the EU, and other nations. The withdrawal of $346 million from the IMF represents a financial step toward reconstruction, though the scale of the disaster continues to challenge recovery operations. The report from N12 did not specify when the withdrawal was approved or whether additional IMF funds are expected.
