Earthquake in Venezuela: Immediate aid from Caritas will provide shelter, water, food, and access to medical care
The strongest earthquake in 100 years struck Venezuela at a time when the country had been facing a prolonged humanitarian crisis. Even before the disaster, nearly 8 million people had been in need of assistance. Now, after more than ten years, the government has opened the country to international aid. Caritas Venezuela can accept financial donations from abroad and expand its capacity to meet the needs of the most vulnerable. In response to the event, organisations within the Caritas Internationalis network, including Caritas Czech Republic, have also become involved.
