After recent earthquakes in Venezuela, many volunteers rushed to help.
The large number of aid groups converged on the single access road.
That road is the only route into the affected disaster zone. The
sudden influx caused severe traffic congestion. The blockage prevented
rescue teams from reaching victims quickly. Emergency officials
reported delays in rescue operations. Authorities are now working to
manage the flow of volunteers. Coordinating volunteer efforts is seen
as essential to restore aid access.
