Crisis in Venezuela

Twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela earlier this summer have deepened an already severe humanitarian crisis. Years of economic instability, hyperinflation, widespread poverty, and limited access to essential services have left millions of people vulnerable. With inflation projected to exceed 600 percent in 2026, food, medicine, and healthcare remain out of reach for many families. The earthquakes have further strained communities already struggling to meet their basic needs.

Malteser International emergency relief teams are on the ground supporting communities affected by the earthquakes.
