US Navy ship gives Venezuelan refugees free healthcare during Colombian visit
STOKING TENSIONS?The crew have been providing treatment to ill refugees as well as Colombians, even as pressure builds on US-Caracas relations
A US Navy hospital ship moored off Colombia has started giving free medical care to Venezuelan refugees, in a move likely to rile officials in Caracas who deny the existence of a humanitarian crisis in their own country — and have long been suspicious of the close relationship between Colombia and the US.
As well as treating Colombians, US medical teams aboard the USNS Comfort are to attend to Venezuelan refugees, particularly at the ship’s next stop in Riohacha, a city near the border between the two countries.
