A ZAKA Mission • Israel's Lifesavers
A devastating earthquake has buried families across Venezuela. ZAKA volunteers are already on the ground, searching the rubble for survivors. Help us keep them there.
The Disaster
"Every minute counts — survivors are still being pulled from the rubble."
Two powerful earthquakes struck the northern state of La Guaira. More than 1,400 buildings were destroyed, and thousands of families are waiting for news. For those trapped, time is the difference between life and death.
Days after the quake, survivors are still being found. With every passing hour the chances fade — speed is everything.
Trapped victims can survive in an air pocket under sturdy debris — if rescuers reach them in time.
"You could survive a while without food. You could survive less without water." Every hour counts.
ZAKA on the Ground
ZAKA has mobilized dozens of experienced volunteers and specialists, who flew straight to the disaster zone to search for the missing, free those trapped, and bring relief to grieving families.
For decades, ZAKA's teams have built world-renowned expertise in disaster zones across the globe — from earthquakes to the most complex emergencies. Now they need the resources to keep working around the clock.
