Description:
June 2026 – Two powerful earthquakes struck north-central Venezuela in rapid succession, causing widespread devastation across Caracas, La Guaira, and surrounding states. The disaster has resulted in significant loss of life, extensive damage to homes, critical infrastructure, and public services, while displacing thousands of people. To respond to the needs emerging from this disaster, the Secretary of State (International Development) announced that Canada would match donations made to the Humanitarian Coalition and its members for Venezuela.
With GAC’s support, the Humanitarian Coalition and its members are undertaking comprehensive life-saving relief operations across the impacted areas. Project activities include: (1) providing essential food and non-food relief items; (2) providing emergency shelter assistance; (3) providing safe, water, sanitation and hygiene services; (4) providing protection services including gender-based violence prevention; as well as (5) providing health services and psychosocial support to families and children affected by the disaster.
