DEC Venezuela Earthquake Appeal
Two catastrophic earthquakes have hit Venezuela, striking within seconds of each other. Buildings were reduced to rubble in minutes and the scale of destruction is vast.
Hundreds of people have been killed, and the death toll continues to rise. Thousands more are injured, and the country’s hospitals are under extreme pressure.
Families are sleeping in makeshift tents on the street, with little protection from the heat and rain. Power lines and roads have been destroyed, and people are cut off from essential supplies.
The UN estimates that millions of people have been affected, with more than two million in the worst impacted areas. The needs are overwhelming. DEC charities are working with their local partners to reach people with emergency aid. Your support can be a lifeline for families affected by this devastating disaster.
