THE SITUATION IN VENEZUELA


On Wednesday 24 June, 2026, two powerful earthquakes struck north-central Venezuela near Caracas. The earthquakes occurred within seconds of each other and triggered widespread destruction across the country.
The Venezuelan authorities confirmed, as of the 1st July, that at least 1,800 persons have died as a result. Over 20,000 are missing, with some 5,000 injured. Around 12,000 people have been displaced.
Following the illegal US invasion and murder of Cuban and Venezuelan military personnel in January this disaster has overturned a country rich in natural resources and human capacity .

Dr. Francisco Dominguez, the Chair of the Venezuela Solidarity Campaign UK has agreed speak at our Zoom meeting on the 5th July on the current situation in Venezuela regarding the earthquakes and the political situation resulting this disaster, and continued US aggression.

Richadr Burgon MP writes in X
“Venezuela has suffered a devastating earthquake. Hundreds are dead. Tens of thousands missing.
I’ve written to the Foreign Secretary calling on the Government to provide humanitarian aid and to release Venezuela’s gold – held at the Bank of England – to help fund reconstruction.”

Red Alert no. 22: Truth Amid the Rubble
False narratives obscure Venezuela’s earthquake response. This red alert tests myths, documents relief efforts, and calls to lift sanctions and release public assets that remain inaccessible abroad.
