The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has launched an appeal to support the millions of people that have been affected by the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela.
The partnership of 15 charities, including the British Red Cross, Save the Children and Oxfam, will use the donations to provide medical supplies, food and shelter for those who have been displaced by the disaster.
Last Wednesday, two back-to-back earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 struck close to Venezuela’s capital, Caracas.
