The earthquakes that have struck Venezuela have caused widespread destruction, numerous fatalities and injuries, and affected countless families. Communities are facing extensive damage to homes, infrastructure, and essential services, while many people have been forced to leave their homes or are living in uncertainty about what comes next.
Right now, our teams are on the ground, coordinating with authorities and humanitarian partners to scale up life-saving assistance: emergency shelter support, water, sanitation and hygiene services, health assistance, protection services, and the distribution of essential relief items for affected families.
This emergency is unfolding in a context where millions of people were already struggling to meet their basic needs. The earthquakes have further disrupted access to healthcare, sanitation, protection services, and livelihoods, placing additional pressure on already fragile systems and increasing risks for the most vulnerable communities.
For years, IOM has maintained a strong presence across Venezuela, working alongside communities, authorities, and partners to support people affected by displacement and vulnerability.
The needs are urgent, and the coming days will be critical. Every contribution can help reach people who have lost homes, loved ones, and access to basic services. International solidarity and timely support are essential to deliver life-saving assistance, protect those most at risk, and help communities begin the path toward recovery, resilience, and rebuilding their futures.
