In a significant humanitarian effort, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has directed the UAE Aid Agency to deploy $10 million in emergency relief to support victims of the twin earthquakes that recently devastated parts of Venezuela, including the areas surrounding Caracas. As the death toll nears 1,000 and thousands remain trapped under the rubble, this urgent financial aid is intended to fast-track recovery, provide essential medical supplies, and deliver food to those displaced by the catastrophe. Tareq Ahmed Al Ameri, Chairman of the UAE Aid Agency, emphasized that this initiative reflects the nation’s longstanding commitment to global humanitarian support, ensuring that assistance reaches those facing dire conditions as swiftly as possible.

The situation on the ground remains critical, with international rescue teams working against the clock to find survivors trapped in the debris of collapsed infrastructure. With the U.S. Geological Survey warning that the final death toll could exceed 10,000, the UAE is actively coordinating with Venezuelan officials and global organizations to streamline the delivery of shelter equipment and life-saving resources. By focusing on both immediate needs and long-term stability, the UAE aims to alleviate the profound suffering of the Venezuelan people and help the affected regions begin the difficult process of recovery following one of the deadliest seismic events in Latin American history.
