Lutheran World Relief Launches Emergency Earthquake Relief for Venezuela

Donations now being accepted to help families affected by devastating earthquakes

Lutheran World Relief is mobilizing an emergency response following the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24. Donations are now being accepted to help provide emergency assistance to families affected by the disaster.

As search-and-rescue operations continue and authorities assess the full scope of the disaster, humanitarian needs are expected to include emergency medical care, shelter, safe water, food assistance, psychosocial support and assistance for families displaced by the earthquakes.

Working with local and regional partners, Lutheran World Relief is assessing needs and supporting affected communities during both the immediate emergency response and the longer-term recovery ahead.
