EU ready to boost aid to Venezuela: Mogherini

BRUSSELS, Feb 24, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – The European Union on Sunday said it was prepared to “scale up” humanitarian and development aid to ease the plight of Venezuelans.

“We recall our commitment to help those in need for as long as it takes, to scale up this assistance,” said EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said in a statement in the name of the bloc’s 28 members following deadly border clashes.
