A massive earthquake can change a country in minutes, but the hardest part is what comes after: the waiting, the searching, the sudden need for food, water, medicine, and a safe place to sleep. We’re talking about the devastating Venezuela earthquakes and the scale that’s still coming into focus, from lives lost to thousands of buildings damaged or destroyed and millions of people caught in the impact zone.

Ed Raine, President & CEO of Food for the Poor, breaks down what disaster response looks like when the situation is still developing: verified updates, rapid decisions, and a phased plan that starts with emergency relief and stretches into shelter and long-term recovery.

Cesar Guevara, Director of Partnerships, shares his personal perspective on the disaster and talks about the outpouring of support coming from our local South Florida communities.
