Venezuela faces a Complex Humanitarian Emergency, a type of humanitarian crisis that stretches through time, that often has a political origin, and also results in forced displacement (Villa, Basser & Ravinetto, 2007). This humanitarian crisis –characterized by food and medicine scarcity, hyperinflation, widespread violence, and widespread violations of human rights– has caused the displacement of approximately 6,038,937 Venezuelans by the end of 2021 (ACNUR & OIM [UNCHR & IOM], 2021), thus becoming the biggest migration crisis seen in the Americas, and until today, only surpassed in the rest of the world by the forced displacement crisis in Syria.
