AH&H Delivers First Emergency Supplies in Venezuela Less Than 24 Hours After Earthquakes

All Hands & Hearts mobilized its disaster relief team to Venezuela in response to the powerful 7.2-magnitude and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes that struck near San Felipe, just outside Caracas. Building collapses have been reported, Caracas’ airport has been closed after suffering huge damage, and death tolls are feared to be in the thousands.

This is what our team is seeing in Venezuela after the two back-to-back devastating earthquakes, while delivering water and emergency supplies along the coastline in La Guaira, one of the most affected areas in Venezuela. Our team notes that the whole stretch up to Caraballeda is devastated. The buildings right on the beachfront have collapsed, one after another, with people inside.

Our Response So Far

Our team has deployed to Venezuela, coordinating with partners, and began response operations, providing emergency relief. In collaboration with Alimenta La Solidaridad, we started delivering water and emergency supplies less than 24 hours after the earthquakes, with more on the way.

Your support makes it possible for us to move fast, work alongside local partners, and stay as long as communities need us. Follow us on social media and on our website for real-time updates from the field,  and thank you, as always, for standing with us. Every donation helps us deliver water, food, and emergency supplies to families who have lost everything.
