On the evening of June 24, Venezuela was struck by two powerful earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude within the span of just one minute. According to official figures released on July 13, the disaster claimed 4,490 lives and affected approximately 1.3 million people. In response to the tragedy, BLIA Brazil immediately launched a campaign to collect donations and emergency supplies in Brazil, Colombia, and Paraguay to assist the victims.
After nearly two weeks of coordination involving the purchase of supplies, transportation, and customs procedures, the first shipment, consisting of more than five tons of humanitarian aid, arrived in the state of La Guaira on July 10. With the support of friends from BLIA residing in Venezuela-Carlos Tang, as well as local military personnel and police officers, drinking water, food, clothing, hygiene products, and other supplies were distributed among five shelters and a military medical station, benefiting approximately 600 families.
Despite Venezuela’s prolonged economic crisis, marked by high inflation and shortages of essential goods, relief efforts are continuing. BLIA Brazil and Zu Lai Temple have already prepared a second shipment of humanitarian aid, including medicines, solar-powered lights, and wet wipes. Once the necessary approvals have been obtained, the supplies will be sent by sea, continuing the support provided to the affected communities.
