Following the powerful earthquakes that struck on Wednesday, 24 June, the humanitarian situation in Venezuela has deteriorated significantly.
The hardest-hit areas, particularly La Guaira and several parts of Caracas, have suffered building collapses, damage to critical infrastructure, and disruptions to healthcare, water, and electricity services. Thousands of people have been displaced or are in urgent need of assistance, while rescue teams and international humanitarian organizations continue working to locate survivors and provide shelter, food, safe drinking water, and medical care. The disaster has struck a country already facing a severe economic and social crisis, making the emergency response more challenging and increasing the needs of the most vulnerable communities.
The funds raised will be channelled through humanitarian organizations with a proven track record, operational capacity, and a strong presence on the ground, ensuring that donations reach the people who need them most.
The funds raised will be allocated entirely to supporting the humanitarian actions carried out by the beneficiary organizations of the emergency campaign for Venezuela:
UNHCR is the UN agency responsible for protecting and assisting refugees, displaced people and stateless persons. It provides shelter, basic assistance, legal protection and support to people who have had to flee their places of origin due to conflicts, persecution or humanitarian crises.
