In order to mitigate the negative effects of the Venezuelan humanitarian crisis, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary provided support to the Venezuelan Hungarian Diaspora. The deteriorating Venezuelan economic situation in recent months has led to a shortage of food, along with a lack of medicines, resulting in an increasingly widespread malnutrition among the inhabitants.
The pharmaceutical and food donation was handed over to the Hungarian House of Caracas on 16 December 2018 by the Embassy of Hungary in Quito.
