The Venezuelan government is facing accusations of politicizing earthquake relief efforts. Critics claim that interim President Delcy Rodríguez is trying to exploit the tragedy for her political benefit. Her supporters, in turn, accuse the opposition of engaging in the same behavior. These mutual accusations are exacerbating political tensions in the already deeply divided country. The victims of the earthquake urgently need aid, but disputes over its distribution are hampering the delivery of support.
