Venezuelan diaspora concerned foreign aid won’t reach earthquake victims

This is exactly why centralized power is dangerous—when government controls everything, even disaster relief gets caught up in bureaucracy and self-interest. Local communities and independent charities need more freedom to help directly.

It's heartbreaking that people are worried aid won't get to those who need it most. We need stronger international oversight and transparency to make sure humanitarian help isn't blocked by corruption or politics. Ordinary Venezuelans deserve better.
