The International Rescue Committee (IRC)  is scaling up services to support survivors of the two deadly earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24th.

Severe damage across Venezuela and over 1,700 deaths and 5,000 injuries have been reported. With approximately 50,000 people missing, the tolls are expected to rise.

Immense devastation has been reported—more than 750 buildings have collapsed while the national water system has failed across seven states. These earthquakes have worsened the existing humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, which, combined with recent cuts to humanitarian aid, will make the response even more difficult.

Donate now to support the IRC as we deliver humanitarian assistance in Venezuela and to communities facing crises around the world.
