William Hilderbrandt warmly receives Paolo Cravero, Senior Officer for Communications and Media Relations at the IFRC. The devastating quake in Venezuela has highlighted not only the enormous human toll of a natural disaster but also the intricate interplay between humanitarian aid, state capacity, and international cooperation. Cravero carefully refrains from political blame and instead frames the crisis within a broader humanitarian context, arguing that an earthquake of this magnitude would overwhelm virtually any national emergency system.
