Earthquake in Venezuela URGENT: Children Need Your Help Now
par SAVE THE CHILDREN-CANADA/AIDE A L'ENFANCE-CANADAOn Wednesday, Venezuela was hit by two devastating earthquakes that have left widespread destruction and have put the lives of children and families at immediate risk.
The double earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude have cut off communications and power in some areas so the extent of the destruction and casualties will take time to become clear.
We know that children are among the most impacted during a crisis like this. They have seen their homes destroyed, and some have had their families ripped apart. Many need urgent medical treatment.
Save the Children works with partners in the affected areas and is responding to urgent needs. Preventative evacuations have been carried out in several cities, with some children and families moving into open areas as aftershocks continue.
