Venezuela e Colômbia: depois das imagens da destruição, começa o tempo silencioso da reconstrução

In brief

The Church is providing aid and support to communities in Venezuela and Colombia following major earthquakes that caused a humanitarian crisis in South America.

Large magnitude earthquakes struck Venezuela in June 2026 and Colombia in August 2026. These disasters resulted in many deaths and injuries, leaving behind widespread destruction. Vatican News reports that the Church is working to bring hope and assistance to the affected pastoral communities during the reconstruction period.
