On 24 June 2026 (Venezuela time), two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela, causing significant humanitarian impacts and ongoing aftershocks. Venezuelan Red Cross is providing emergency support, including health care, search and rescue, shelter, relief items and psychosocial support.
Australian Red Cross stands in solidarity with our Red Cross and Red Crescent partners responding to the earthquakes and is ready to support with funding and technical assistance as the situation evolves.

Helping people to restore contact with family members separated by the crisis
