Two devastating earthquakes, magnitudes 7.3 and 7.5, have struck Venezuela, killing thousands of people and injuring many more. Together with the Disasters Emergency Committee, the IRC has launched an emergency appeal.
For families already struggling to access food, medicine, and basic necessities amid years of economic crisis, this disaster couldn't have come at a worse time. Many have nothing left to fall back on.
" As the full extent of the destruction becomes clear, the IRC is scaling up our response to deliver life-saving assistance to those who need it most." - Bob Kitchen, IRC Vice President for Emergencies
