Help is needed in Venezuela
Two exceptionally powerful earthquakes in Venezuela are causing immense suffering. The earthquakes are the strongest in the region in over a hundred years: the magnitudes of the two quakes were 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale.
The scale of destruction is vast: homes and buildings have collapsed into ruins. Health services have been affected, and electricity, transport and communication networks have been damaged.
The exact extent of the need for assistance is still being assessed, and in the initial phase the focus is on search and rescue, first aid, temporary shelter, and securing basic services such as water and healthcare. The number of casualties continues to rise. The most important priority is to find and rescue the survivors.
Donate to the disaster relief fund and help save lives.
