The Civil Defence Commission (CDC) in collaboration with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has sent over 100 food hampers into Kaikan, in Region Seven, as part of efforts to assist Venezuelan nationals who continue to flee to Guyana’s border regions due to the ongoing economic turmoil in their home country.
The Department of Public Information reported the CDC’s acting Director-General, Lieutenant Colonel Kester Craig, as saying that 52 hampers were flown in on Friday and another 52 were flown in yesterday.
The hampers, which each weigh 43 pounds, contain basic food items such as canned beans, milk and biscuits.
