Thank you for supporting the Venezuela Earthquakes Emergency Appeal.

Your generosity will help Red Cross teams respond to the urgent needs of people affected by the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela.

As emergency response efforts continue and humanitarian needs become clearer, your donation will help provide vital assistance to communities facing loss, uncertainty and ongoing aftershocks.

Your support may help provide emergency shelter, relief supplies, healthcare assistance and other essential services.

Every contribution helps bring hope, support and practical assistance to people during an incredibly difficult time. Thank you for standing with communities in need.

Two of the strongest earthquakes to strike Venezuela in more than a century, measuring magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5, struck within seconds of each other in Venezuela, causing loss of life, widespread destruction and leaving communities facing an uncertain future.

Buildings have collapsed, critical infrastructure has been damaged, and hospitals are treating increasing numbers of injured people. Search and rescue teams are working urgently to locate survivors, while aftershocks continue to threaten affected communities.

In response, Venezuelan Red Cross has activated its Emergency Operations Centre, Red Cross ambulances have been deployed, Red Cross search and rescue teams have been mobilised to support evacuation and rescue efforts, while shelter facilities are being prepared for people forced to leave their homes.

The full humanitarian impact is still being assessed, as families cope with the loss of homes and concerns for missing loved ones. With communication disrupted, Red Cross restoring family links services are helping people reconnect with family members.

People affected by disasters like these often need immediate support, including emergency shelter, access to clean water, healthcare, including trauma care and mental health and psychosocial support, essential household items, and help reconnecting with family members. As recovery begins, communities may also require ongoing assistance to rebuild their lives and restore livelihoods.

How your support helps

Your donation to the Venezuela Earthquakes Emergency Appeal will help Red Cross teams respond to urgent humanitarian needs and support longer-term recovery efforts.

As the situation develops, funds may help provide emergency shelter, essential relief supplies, healthcare support, clean water and sanitation services, cash assistance, restoring family links services, and other forms of humanitarian assistance based on the needs identified on the ground.

Donations may also help support Red Cross emergency response activities, including shelter assistance for families forced to leave their homes, relief distributions, emergency communications and the coordination of humanitarian response efforts. Support may prioritise people most at risk, including children, older people, people with disabilities and families separated by disasters.

Your support could also help New Zealand Red Cross contribute specialist expertise through the deployment of International Delegates, whose skills can strengthen humanitarian operations and help deliver life-changing assistance to communities affected by disasters.

Every donation makes a difference.

The impact of major earthquakes can last long after the ground stops shaking. Families may face months or even years of recovery as they rebuild homes, restore livelihoods and recover from the physical and emotional effects of the disaster.

Together, we can help ensure people affected by these earthquakes receive the support they need now and in the months ahead.

Please donate today to stand alongside communities in Venezuela during this difficult time. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Finally, don’t forget that when you make a donation of over $5.00, you could claim 33.33% back from IRD!

In the unlikely event that more money is raised than can be reasonably and efficiently spent on this emergency, any surplus funds will be used to support Red Cross humanitarian responses to other disasters and emergencies where the need is greatest.
