Situation Report | Venezuela Earthquakes

Devastating 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes have caused widespread damage, building collapses, and impacted healthcare in Venezuela. Critical infrastructure is damaged, access to power and clean water is disrupted, and Simón Bolívar International Airport is closed. Health workers and first responders continue to work to save lives, but aftershocks, severe damage, and chronic shortages of medical supplies are straining an already weakened health system and limiting access to care.

Project HOPE-supported health facilities are providing emergency and trauma care, and Project HOPE has completed a preliminary needs assessment across health centers in La Guaira, Distrito Capital, and Miranda to direct the scale-up of our response.
