A leader of Venezuela's Jewish community reports no casualties among community members from the recent earthquake, but says 20 families have lost their homes, according to Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom). A donation link for affected families has been shared.
A leader of Venezuela's Jewish community stated Monday that no Jewish community members were injured or killed in the latest earthquake, according to Israeli journalist Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom). However, 20 families from the city of Caracas lost their homes. The community has launched an emergency fundraiser, with a donation link shared for those wishing to contribute.
This update comes as the desk has been tracking the aftermath of the devastating twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on Thursday. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, the death toll among Jewish community members from the initial quakes had reached three, with four others still missing, and at least 15 families having lost their homes completely. The Israeli search-and-rescue team from Magen, Ready for Rescue, and SmartAID has been on the ground since Monday morning.
The new report specifically addresses the situation in Caracas and appears to reflect a narrower assessment of the immediate impact of the ongoing aftershocks or a separate localized incident, rather than a revision of the broader community figures from the original disaster. The earlier figures of three dead and four missing among the community, reported by the president of the Union Israelita de Caracas, remain the most recent comprehensive tally.
