Two powerful earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude struck north-central Venezuela in rapid succession on June 24, causing widespread destruction across several states. Damage to hospitals and other health infrastructure, combined with power and communications outages, is disrupting access to essential healthcare services and contributing to surging humanitarian needs. International Medical Corps is working with local authorities to identify priority health needs and shape our response.
