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.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The earthquakes and subsequent aftershocks have caused widespread devastation across the capital, Caracas, home to nearly 5 million people. As of Tuesday, July 7th, authorities have claimed that the death toll has risen to 3,535 people. President of the National Assembly of Venezuel, Jorge Rodriguez, has also reported that 16,740 individuals are injured and 17,854 individuals have been left \u200bwithout housing. 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
