On June 24, 2026, two strong earthquakes struck Venezuela within seconds of each other. Thousands of people are feared dead or injured.
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is working together with the Venezuelan Red Cross and is currently assessing the most urgent needs to provide fast and targeted assistance to those affected. Thanks to your support, we can respond quickly and provide first aid - together with the Venezuelan Red Cross, which is assisting people on the ground.
The Swiss Red Cross is also offering to deploy a logistics team to help coordinate the relief efforts. Thank you very much for your solidarity.
