7.2 Magnitude Earthquakes Strikes Venezuela

Last Update:2026/06/26
Tags:

On the evening of June 24, 2026 (Colombia Time), two strong earthquakes—magnitude 7.2 and 7.5—struck north-central Venezuela, one after another. More than 130 aftershocks followed.

The earthquakes were centered near Morón, close to the capital city, Caracas. After the quakes, a tsunami alert was issued for parts of the Caribbean.

  • These were the strongest earthquakes to strike the area in over 100 years. The two big quakes happened less than two minutes apart. Many buildings and large structures collapsed right away, leaving rubble everywhere. People and children ran for their lives. Rescue efforts are very difficult right now, and the number of injuries and deaths is still unknown.

  • Infrastructure and facilities in many states have been badly damaged. Hospitals, electricity, water, and gas services have been cut off. The main international airport is closed, and train services have stopped.

  • Children are especially at risk in this disaster. After losing their homes in an instant, they now face the danger of aftershocks and unsafe buildings. Losing their homes, being separated from their caregivers, and having to move away can cause deep emotional harm.


World Vision's Response

World Vision’s office in Venezuela was established in 2019. It works on Child Protection, Community Development, and Humanitarian Aid. Its programs cover Food, Water and Sanitation (WASH), Nutrition, Health, Education, and Child Protection. Just last year, more than 136,000 people benefited from these programs.

After the strong earthquakes hit Venezuela, the government declared a state of emergency. World Vision's team in Venezuela is now actively assessing the situation and the needs of affected people and has started full emergency response efforts.

Vulnerable children and families in this disaster are in great danger. Rescue work is urgent—every moment matters. We ask you to pray for the children and families in Venezuela, and we urge you to donate now to support the emergency work on the ground. Your donation today can be a lifeline of hope for children and families in this crisis.
