On Wednesday 24 June, two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela just seconds apart, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude. At least 1,450 people have died and more than 3,150 have been injured, with numbers likely to rise.

This is the most significant seismic event to hit the country in more than a century.

The impact has been widespread. In Caracas and the states of Aragua, Carabobo, Falcón, La Guaira and Miranda, homes, schools and hospitals have been badly damaged or destroyed.

UNICEF estimates that 1.8 million people, including 680,000 children, now need urgent help.
