SITUATION ON THE GROUND
A city turned to rubble in an instant
Two powerful earthquakes — magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 — struck north-central Venezuela in rapid succession, triggering a national state of emergency. Major airports were damaged, and dozens of hotels, hospitals, and residential buildings collapsed beyond recognition. The tremors were felt across neighboring countries, leaving Venezuela’s healthcare infrastructure paralyzed and thousands of survivors in desperate need of immediate relief.

RIGHT NOW
Families are struggling to survive
With electricity cut off and water sources contaminated, residents have been forced into the streets with nowhere to turn. As aftershocks continue, displaced families lack even basic hygiene supplies, leaving them dangerously exposed to waterborne diseases. Survivors pulled from the rubble are suffering from injuries without access to proper medical care. Without help, they cannot last another day.
Good Neighbors is working with local partners in the hardest-hit areas to provide emergency shelter for families left on the streets, and to rapidly distribute emergency relief kits to help survivors meet their most urgent needs.
- An initial emergency response plan has already been completed with a funding goal of
$1,000,000.00. - A team composed of staff from GN Mexico will be deployed 30 June 2026 (KST) to
monitor the situation and distribution. Items to be distribution might be subject to change,
based on the results of the assessments. - Good Neighbors Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) Regional Coordinating Office
as well as the Global Partnership Center is closely monitoring the situation.
