Venezuela earthquake emergency appeal
Two devastating 7.2 and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes hit northern Venezuala at 6pm last night, causing widespread destruction. Buildings and homes collapsed, leaving hundreds injured.
Children are injured, in shock and traumatised. They need urgent help.
Right now, children are in desperate need of your help and support. They have lost their homes, their schools and even their families, but they cannot lose their future.
Help us send life-saving supplies to children and their families in Venezuela.

Your Donation Saves Children’s Lives
Right now, UNICEF teams are working around the clock to provide children and their families with emergency supplies.
We are working under challenging conditions, with already strained healthcare systems, and fragile and damaged water infrastructure excarbating the situation.
However, we are determined to reach every child in need, and we won’t stop until every child is helped.
A donation to UNICEF today can make a life-saving difference to children:
- €250 can supply 5 first-aid kits, to help injured children.
- €100 could provide emergency food and clean water for 100 children.
- €75 can provide pain relief for more than 15 children suffering from agonising injuries.
