What would change the assessment
- If the $10 million in aid is not disbursed or projects do not start within 12 months, the article's claims of immediate relief are falsified. (within 365 days — Fundación Simón Bolívar annual reports or CITGO press releases)
- If the number of beneficiaries falls significantly short of 64,900 or the health centers are not repaired as stated, the article's impact claims are falsified. (within 365 days — Project HOPE and World Central Kitchen impact reports)
