Consular coordination, family support
In the wake of the tragedy, the Ministry's Directorate of Operations and Consular Affairs, working alongside the Jordanian Embassy in Brazil—which oversees diplomatic relations for the region—is closely managing the situation.
Ambassador Al-Majali stated that the diplomatic missions are focused on providing all necessary administrative, legal, and emotional support to the victim's family during the repatriation process, while simultaneously monitoring the welfare of the broader Jordanian expatriate community currently in Venezuela.
Emergency channels activated
To ensure the safety of other nationals amid ongoing aftershocks and widespread logistical disruptions across the country, the Foreign Ministry has urged all Jordanians residing or presently traveling in Venezuela to establish immediate contact with emergency services.
The designated lines are fully staffed and operational around the clock to process requests for evacuation aid, safety registration, or emergency consular assistance.
