Following severe flooding and mudslides in December 1999, Venezuela sought
to rebuild in the wake of a disaster that killed as many as 30,000 people.
Paul Jeffrey went to Venezuela in January 2000 to write about and photograph
emergency efforts supported by ACT International, a world-wide alliance of
church disaster agencies. These are a selection of his photos. A sampling of
his
articles from the trip can be found here.
NOTE: All high resolution photos were removed in 2009. ACT members
may obtain these image files from the ACT coordinating office in Geneva.
Others interested in licensing the photos should contact the photographer.
