Community Impact

Support Earthquake Relief in Venezuela

Know. Act. Give. | Venezuela Earthquakes

Powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela, leaving a devastating impact. We received confirmation overnight that the humanitarian situation is worsening. The death toll has risen to 589, with more than 3,000 injured. Hundreds remain missing, and tens of thousands are still unaccounted for as families search for loved ones.

As we have seen in many crises around the world, Jewish humanitarian organizations are moving quickly to respond beyond their own communities. The Israeli government is also preparing to deploy an aid delegation to assist in relief efforts.

While the full extent of the damage is still emerging, response teams on the ground are already providing critical support, including emergency shelter, food, medical treatment, and trauma care.

Those who wish to help are encouraged to support the trusted and vetted tax-deductible relief organizations listed below.
