Children in Venezuela urgently need your help
Two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela on 24 June, just after 18:00 local time (23:00 BST). A magnitude 7.2 was followed seconds later by a 7.5. Buildings have collapsed. Families are sleeping in the streets, too afraid to go home. And children are caught in the middle of it all.
Right now, rescue teams are urgently searching through rubble in Caracas and beyond. Hospitals are overwhelmed. Power and gas have been cut off to entire neighbourhoods. With aftershocks still coming, families have nowhere safe to turn.
Tragically, the death toll is rising. The full scale of the destruction is still unfolding.
Our teams have been actively responding to the humanitarian needs inside Venezuela since 2019.
Our staff are on the ground, assessing the most urgent needs and preparing to provide life-saving aid.
