Children who have lost parents and homes need urgent help
Over 4,000 people have been killed in two devastating earthquakes that tore through Venezuela on 24 June, the worst to hit the country in over a century.
Thousands more are seriously injured and more than 19,000 people are now homeless.
Children are in desperate need of medical help – but hospitals have been badly damaged, including a children’s hospital in Caracas.
With so much infrastructure destroyed, families are forced to drink unsafe water. Food and medical supplies are in short supply.
And with over 600 aftershocks and counting, the danger isn’t over.
Your donation today is essential to save lives. You can help deliver safe water, life-saving medicines, first aid kits and food to terrified children who have lost everything.
Every hour counts – please act now.

Our teams are on the ground now – but they need your support
UNICEF has already delivered a 47-metric-tonne shipment of emergency supplies to Venezuela – emergency health kits, water purification equipment, tents, and other, essential life-saving aid.
Together with other rapid aid deliveries theses supplies will reach over 100,000 children and families.
But this is only the beginning. Saving children’s lives requires so much more. Without urgent support from people like you, thousands of children will be left without the medical care, clean water and safety they desperately need. Your donation can change that.
You can be the difference for children in Venezuela right now.
