Donate to help us reach more children and families affected by Venezuela earthquakes

On Wednesday 24 June, two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela just seconds apart, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude. According to reports, at least 2,295 people have died and over 11,000 have been injured, with numbers likely to rise.

Our teams are in Venezuela delivering vital support to more than 100,000 children and families, including medical care, safe water, protection and education.

A donation to our Venezuela earthquakes appeal could help children receive the care, protection and support they need to recover and rebuild their lives.

Please donate to our Venezuela earthquakes appeal today.

 

What is happening in Venezuela?

The back-to-back earthquakes caused widespread destruction across Caracas and the north-central states of Aragua, Carabobo, Falcón, La Guaira, Miranda and Yaracuy. This is the most significant seismic event to hit the country in more than a century.

The impact has been widespread. Homes, schools and hospitals have been badly damaged or destroyed.

Many families are now living in overcrowded temporary shelters or open spaces. UNICEF estimates that 1.8 million people, including 680,000 children, now need urgent help.

Before the earthquakes struck, Venezuela was already facing a severe economic crisis, geopolitical tensions, and increasing climate-related disasters. Many families were struggling to afford food, healthcare, and other basic necessities.

This disaster is likely to push even more children into crisis.

How we are responding to the earthquakes in Venezuela

We have rapidly scaled up our emergency response. We are working closely with partners to assess needs and provide life-saving support.

A first UNICEF air shipment arrived in Venezuela on 27 June, delivering 20 tonnes of emergency supplies. A second shipment arrived on 30 June, carrying a further 47 tonnes of humanitarian aid to support children and families affected by the earthquakes.

These shipments contained:

  • Emergency health kits for urgent medical care, safe births, newborn care and disease prevention and treatment
  • Water purification and storage supplies to provide safe drinking water
  • Tents for setting up child-friendly spaces and service points
  • Mobility aids, including wheelchairs
  • Recreational supplies to support children’s education and wellbeing

Please donate to help us reach more children in Venezuela now.

How will your Venezuela donation be used?

For the first 3 months, monthly donations made to the appeal will go towards funding our work to support children affected by the humanitarian crises in Venezuela, including the recent earthquakes. After that, donations will go to support our work around the world. Any Gift Aid claimed on donations made to this appeal will support UNICEF’s work around the world.

In the unlikely event that the funds raised exceed what’s needed for the Venezuela earthquakes appeal, we will direct any excess funds to support our work to help keep children safe and healthy around the world.
