On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela just seconds apart. The first measured 7.2 in magnitude, followed by a 7.5-magnitude quake, one of the strongest earthquakes to hit the country in more than a century. Since then, more than 214 aftershocks have also been recorded.

The earthquakes and subsequent aftershocks have caused widespread devastation across the capital, Caracas, home to nearly 5 million people. As of Friday, June 26th, acting President Delcy Rodr\u00edguez reported that 589 people have died and 2,980 have been injured. These numbers are expected to rise as emergency responders continue to search damaged buildings and reach affected communities.

Every hour matters. Search and rescue teams are working tirelessly to find survivors. Millions of people have also been displaced and are in urgent need of access to food, clean drinking water, emergency shelter, medical care, and other essential supplies.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":58839,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"crc-campaign-template.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"crc-tags":[],"class_list":["post-58836","crelief","type-crelief","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"campaignImage":"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Venezuela-Earthquake-LP.jpg","isUrgent":true,"isArchived":false,"isFeatured":true,"tags":[{"term_id":1674,"name":"Earthquake","slug":"earthquake","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1674,"taxonomy":"crc-tags","description":"","parent":0,"count":0,"filter":"raw"}],"location":[{"value":"canadaLocation","label":"Canada"}],"cards":[{"campaignNameBackEnd":"Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR)","id":"30949","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"Humanitarian Coalition","id":"30950","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"CANADIAN JESUITS INTERNATIONAL","id":"30951","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"CANADIAN RED CROSS","id":"30953","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"Samaritan's Purse Canada","id":"30954","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"Action Against Hunger Canada","id":"30955","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"ShelterBox Canada","id":"30956","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"Humanity & Inclusion Canada - Handicap International","id":"30957","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"SAVE THE CHILDREN CANADA","id":"30959","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"CARE Canada","id":"30960","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"Oxfam Canada","id":"30961","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"Crossroads","id":"30962","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"GLOBALMEDIC","id":"30965","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"UNICEF CANADA","id":"30968","matchingFundEnabled":false},{"campaignNameBackEnd":"United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Canada (UNHCR)","id":"13061","matchingFundEnabled":false}],"textBeforeRow":"
