Lutheran World Relief is mobilizing an emergency response following the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24. Donations are now being accepted to help provide emergency assistance to families affected by the disaster.
As search-and-rescue operations continue and authorities assess the full scope of the disaster, humanitarian needs are expected to include emergency medical care, shelter, safe water, food assistance, psychosocial support and assistance for families displaced by the earthquakes.
Working with local and regional partners, Lutheran World Relief is assessing needs and supporting affected communities during both the immediate emergency response and the longer-term recovery ahead.
The earthquakes struck a country already facing significant humanitarian challenges, including widespread poverty, economic instability and strained public services. Damage to transportation networks, communications systems and health facilities is expected to complicate relief efforts and increase humanitarian needs in the weeks ahead.
For more than 80 years, Lutheran World Relief has responded to disasters around the world by delivering emergency aid, supporting recovery and helping communities build resilience for the future.
