DC’s World Central Kitchen helps feed Venezuelans after earthquake
The nonprofit is partnering with 19 local groups and serving about 10,000 meals daily to displaced families and rescue workers, officials said.
- World Central Kitchen is serving about 10,000 meals daily to survivors of earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24, partnering with local organizations to deliver fresh food across Miranda, La Guaira, and Carabobo.
- Twin earthquakes measuring 7.5 and 7.2 magnitude devastated the South American country on June 24, causing more than 2,200 deaths so far, with thousands more still missing in the rubble.
- The United Nation estimates nearly 16,000 people have been displaced in the region north of the capital. Security risks prevent establishing food stations closer to rescue sites, forcing community members to collect meals from WCK distribution points.
- Casa De Venezuela Orlando founder William Diaz is organizing additional medical supplies and equipment donations. Residents can purchase items via an Amazon wish list, as Diaz noted rescue teams lack basic equipment after 27 years of dictatorship.
- The Trump administration ended temporary protected status for over 600,000 Venezuelans last year, leaving many vulnerable to deportation. More than 100 recent deportees are missing after their hotel collapsed in the quake just hours after arriving from the United States.
