The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is mobilizing aid in Venezuela after two deadly earthquakes struck the country on Wednesday, June 24
The humanitarian response includes distributing approximately 5,000 assistance kits, which are expected to benefit more than 23,000 people, according to a news release on the Church’s Spanish language Newsroom website
The kits include food, drinking water, hygiene items, and other essential supplies. The Church is also working to provide mattresses, blankets, and pillows to people in shelters
The Church’s response is in conjunction with other humanitarian organizations and government authorities. The Church is also preparing other projects focused on supporting the recovery of families who lost their belongings
Elder Bhanu Hiranandani, an Area Seventy, wrote in an email to the Church News that some of the Church’s meetinghouses are being set up as collection centers to assist the community. He also wrote that “due to limited access and restrictions on reaching the most severely affected areas, we are currently waiting for the opportunity to reach those locations and provide volunteer service.”
