June 2026 - Two powerful earthquakes struck north-central Venezuela in rapid succession, causing widespread devastation across Caracas, La Guaira, and surrounding states. The disaster has resulted in significant loss of life, extensive damage to homes, critical infrastructure, and essential services, while displacing thousands of people. With support from Global Affairs Canada, the World Food Programme (WFP) is responding to the humanitarian needs arising from the earthquakes by providing emergency food assistance and logistical support. Project activities include: (1) providing food and nutrition assistance; (2) facilitating the movement and delivery of relief supplies; and (3) supporting logistics operations.
