Two catastrophic earthquakes have hit Venezuela and the scale of destruction is huge. Two million people are in the worst impacted areas and over 2,000 people have been killed, with the death toll continuing to rise.

As core members of the DEC’s Rapid Response Network, The Co-operative Bank and Coventry Building Society are supporting the appeal, aiming to help raise funds through our JustGiving page and donating £20,000 to the appeal.

DEC charities are working with their local partners to reach people with emergency aid and support search and recovery efforts. They urgently need more funds to scale up their work and reach the most vulnerable. If you can, please donate now.
