We’re supporting the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Venezuela Earthquake Appeal by donating £50,000 and, as a DEC Rapid Response Network partner, supporting customers and colleagues to donate as well. Just after 6 pm local time on Wednesday 24 June, two back-to-back earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 struck close to Venezuela’s capital city, Caracas. The second earthquake was the strongest to hit the country in more than a century. DEC charities are working with their local partners to reach people with emergency aid and support search and recovery efforts.
