The text aims to understand the procedure by which economic and physical resources are allocated that are donated by different organizations and countries, for the attention of the Venezuelan population, within their territory. This situation has generated conflicts of positions assumed by nations such as Colombia, a country bordering Venezuela, and the government of the latter; as evidenced when resources were transferred by the way it communicates to both nations, on February 22 and 23, 2019. These procedures are analyzed from a sociological perspective, taking into account the social and economic dynamics in relation to the social actors of the conflict, mainly, analyzing the role of international cooperation in such humanitarian aid. To achieve this, a documentary analysis is carried out around the recovery of press statements, web pages of the institutions, press releases, etc.
