Donate to our Venezuela Earthquakes Appeal
Donate to help us reach more children and families affected by Venezuela earthquakes
Last update 26/06/2026
A powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck northern Venezuela on the evening of the 24th of June 2026, followed less than a minute later by a second, even stronger 7.5 quake.
Homes and buildings have collapsed across affected areas, including Caracas and La Guaira, leaving families in urgent need of clean water and medical care.
Early reports indicate hundreds of people, including children, have been killed and many more injured. These figures are expected to rise as search-and-rescue operations continue and the full impact of the earthquakes becomes clear.
Local UNICEF teams are on the ground working to deliver urgent, life-saving support to children and families.
Please donate to help us reach more children in Venezuela.
How to help children in Venezuela?
The best way to help Venezuela and the children in crisis is by supporting our appeal. As the situation continues to evolve, our teams are responding in affected areas, working closely with UN agencies, partners and local communities to assess the situation and mobilise immediate response.
We respond in moments of crisis, but we also stay for the long term, helping to build safer, healthier futures for children everywhere.
When you set up a regular donation, you become part of that life-changing work in helping protect the world’s most vulnerable children, today and for years to come.
A monthly donation to UNICEF today can make a life-saving difference to children. £10 a month could provide life-saving supplies like clean water and medical supplies to families in an emergency. Donate today to provide life-saving support to children.

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.
