Lune!

I do not think "oh, Venezuela just has bad luck". No. We had neglect. Ever since I was a child, people kept telling me we were due for another big earthquake... Everybody knew we were due for another one!! Venezuela has one big earthquake every half a century, and rhe last one was in 1967, all we needed was to do the math and be like "well, we need rescue equipment, and we need to assess the state of this or that building so it does not FALL ON PEOPLE"...

And listen, I don’t think people are obligated to post about social, political, or catastrophe issues in social media. I myself usually treat Tumblr as my little getaway escapist place. But if you are genuinely concerned about Venezuela, about Latinoamerica, if you were worried about what the future held for us, then this is the dark hour where you can help us by spreading the word and donating.

Because I've seen people rightly criticize selective empathy before: being outspoken when one tragedy or event happens, only to fall silent when another affects the same people they previously claimed to care about because it is not politically convenient anymore. I feel the same now. I think it shows not a commitment to the ending human suffering or concern for human rights and dignity, but rather a signaling that you belong to this or that ideological group.

TLDR: If you posted about Jan 3 because you cared about Venezuelans' lives, then be sure to donate a couple of dollars or repost a donation link now. https://www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-relief-for-venezuela-earthquake-victims

This 24 June my country was hit by two earthquakes of 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude. It was felt across the country.

I'm okay. My home didn't fall, my family didn't get hurt, and because of this I have the duty to share and spread awareness of the situation.

These two links are trustworthy if you'd like to help. Even $5 is more than enough!

If you can't, that's ok! But please share!

Venezuela is geniunly collapsed at the moment and everyone knows, including me, at least one deceased person because of the earthquake. I wish I could give you a reputable source to tell you where to donate but there isn't ones because the goverment is making it ilegal to and/or stealing it, and they refuse to even give us an actual honest estimate of people found dead.

So far, the goverment has only admitted to 540 deaths and 2000+ in disaperences/ unaccounted for, but it's expected that the number is actually in the 2000+ deaths and 4000+ dissaperences.

The best you can do for us is actually listen for once. I remmeber how everybody and their mom was talking about 1000+ "deaths" during the 3rd of January but I've yet to hear a peep from actual human toll right now.

hi so recently there was a very strong earthquake in Venezuela that left so many people deeply affected including my family that lives there. The government obviously doesn't have the means to help its people with the current economic situation and all so I would really appreciate some monetary help as my grandpa and aunt are currently struggling, their home is barely livable at this point (theres multiple cracks in the infraestructure) and they're in dire need of basic need products (food is scarce due to the high demand) There's also some direct friends of the family that were deeply affected and I would like to help them too, any dollar or sharing helps

Venezuela was hit by two earthquakes yesterday, a 7.2 and a 7.5. Many parts of the country have been reduced to rubble, and areas of Caracas have been flattened. Their infrastructure has already been under immense strain. Here's how you can help:

There was an earthquake just recently, possibly 7.1 magnitude

Fortunately me and all of the ppl close in my life are okay but some of their homes did suffer some damage and are searching for other places to stay at

Yes some buildings did collapse and unfortunately many remained trapped underneath so I am praying that they can all be rescued safe and sound

We don't know much else as it is a very recent thing that happened just around 4 hours ago

I am fine, I was at a mall when it happened and I genuienly thought I was about to die, but fortunately I'm more calm down and I'm currently at one of my grandma's place as she is deathly afraid of these events and afterwards my dad will drive us home

To my fellow Venezuelans, please stay safe, if you or soneone you know has someone trapped under the collapsed buildings the i will pray thay they be rescued and you can all reunite after. If you have any electricity I recommend you charge everything just in case the electricity gets shut off across the entire city
