U.S. Sends Aid After Venezuela Earthquakes

The U.S. is launching a massive humanitarian response to Venezuela’s devastating twin earthquakes, deploying hundreds of emergency responders and $150 million in aid to save lives within the critical first 72 hours. With nearly 600 dead and thousands injured, the U.S. Disaster Assistance Response Team — including search dogs, medics, and firefighters — is already on the ground, working alongside local authorities and groups like Catholic Relief Services and the World Food Program. Overhead imagery helps target the hardest-hit zones, even amid damaged infrastructure like Caracas airport. Officials credit improved U.S.-Venezuela relations for enabling this swift, coordinated effort, pledging long-term support. For those who want to help, the State Department directs donations to vetted, on-the-ground organizations to ensure aid reaches those who need it most.
