Context
Growing poverty is affecting the entire country, particularly due to rampant inflation and chronic shortages, forcing millions of people to leave the country. Since 2015, more than 7.9 million Venezuelans have left the country, constituting one of the world’s largest migration crises.
The remaining population inside the country faces extremely precarious living conditions: more than 20 million people require humanitarian assistance, and access to clean water, food, healthcare, and education is severely limited. In both rural and urban areas, the lack of water and electricity, deteriorating infrastructure, and limited access to basic services and affordable food are having a profound effect on people’s lives and dignity. The international community has forgotten the crisis in Venezuela.
On 24 June 2026, two powerful earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale, struck north–west Venezuela. In the worst-hit areas, particularly around La Guaira and Caracas, many buildings collapsed and hundreds more have been damaged, leaving thousands of people without shelter or access to water.

In response to the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL is providing a targeted response to meet the vital needs of the most vulnerable populations through local partners and in support of the State. The association is focusing its intervention on areas most affected by the collapse of essential services. It is implementing emergency measures to improve access to drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). In collaboration with ECHO, the NGO is strengthening the resilience of local communities in the state of Sucre, particularly in the face of natural disasters. SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL is also intervening by distributing hygiene kits and restoring water systems in health centers.
In La Guaira, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL is addressing the essential water, hygiene and sanitation needs of those directly affected by the earthquakes by distributing hygiene kits containing soap, sanitary products, nappies, hand sanitizer, bottled water and other essential items.
The teams are also providing drinking water, notably through water trucking, to health centers, relief centers, and temporary accommodation in order to ensure basic hygiene conditions for affected populations. They are also carrying out assessments of damaged infrastructure with a view to repairing water supply systems.
