Red Cross: Venezuela's quake recovery will take years
Venezuela's recovery from the two earthquakes that struck it in June 2026 will take several years, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. The disaster, which resulted in over 5,000 deaths, 17,000 injuries, and 23,000 displaced persons, caused widespread destruction of healthcare and educational infrastructure, as well as water, electricity, and sanitation systems. Relief efforts are focused on providing healthcare, psychological support, and access to safe water, while search and rescue operations for the victims continue. The estimated need is 50 million Swiss francs to support recovery over two years, but currently only 25% of this funding has been secured. Experts emphasize that the recovery process will be lengthy, with survivors still suffering from the loss of loved ones and ongoing economic and health challenges.
