Back-to-back earthquakes in Venezuela have killed at least 32 people and injured over 700, with the toll expected to rise. The two powerful earthquakes (7.2 and 7.5) struck within seconds, causing widespread damage, power outages, and the closure of transport systems and the main airport. Mensajeros de la Paz is launching an emergency appeal to provide urgent aid to affected communities.
The impact of the earthquakes is severe and rapidly evolving. Entire neighborhoods have suffered structural damage, leaving families trapped, displaced, or without access to basic services. Power outages, transport disruptions, and limited communications are hindering rescue operations and emergency response efforts. According to preliminary estimates from the U.S. Geological Survey, there is a significant risk that casualties could increase substantially, potentially reaching very high levels a
Mensajeros de la Paz will mobilize an emergency response to support communities affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela, working through trusted local partners and organizations on the ground to ensure aid reaches those most in need quickly and effectively.
Widespread infrastructure damage, including housing, transport systems, and essential services, may take years to rebuild. Families who have lost homes or livelihoods could face prolonged displacement and economic hardship, increasing vulnerability and poverty levels. Without timely and sustained support, recovery could be slow, deepening inequalities and hindering community resilience.
