Venezuela requires $21 billion for earthquake recovery
A Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) report indicates that Venezuela requires up to $21 billion for recovery and reconstruction following the devastating earthquakes on June 24. The study, conducted by the United Nations, the European Union, and the World Bank, estimates that the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes caused $14.831 billion in damages and losses across seven states, resulting in more than 6,500 deaths.
The $21 billion requirement covers not only infrastructure repair but also measures to enhance resilience and reduce future risks. The UNDP is working to translate these findings into a strategic roadmap for recovery. In response to the crisis, Banco del Tesoro has launched a mortgage credit program to assist families who lost homes, offering subsidies of up to 80% for properties valued under $70,000.
Additionally, the Teletón Venevisión 2026 'Unidos por Venezuela' fundraising campaign has been launched to support humanitarian efforts, including medical care for amputees, school reconstruction, and immediate assistance through Cáritas de Venezuela.
