Assistance from the United States to Venezuela after twin earthquakes last month now exceeds $310 million, the U.S. chargé d’affaires in Caracas John Barrett told journalists on Tuesday, adding that Venezuela has been “fully compliant” with requests to advance humanitarian response to the quakes.

Barrett has praised the response of the government of interim President Delcy Rodriguez to the disaster, despite complaints from civilians and humanitarian groups that official help was slow and ineffectual.
