The KKL-JNF (Jewish National Fund) has announced it is mobilizing emergency aid for the Jewish community in Venezuela, following the severe earthquakes that struck the country on Thursday. The aid package, valued at hundreds of thousands of shekels, is intended for the local Jewish community and 500 families who have been evacuated from their homes. Chairman Avi Ostrensky stated the move reflects the organization's commitment to diaspora communities during both routine times and emergencies.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the Jewish Agency had already opened an emergency hotline for Israeli families (11:40 AM Jerusalem), and Israel's Foreign Ministry had directed an aid mission to the disaster zone (11:13 AM). A UN-referenced death toll of at least 32 and 700 wounded was reported by Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez in earlier updates, though the full scale of the catastrophe remains unclear. The US Geological Survey assessed a high likelihood of extensive casualties and widespread structural damage.
