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.
