The Dutch Red Cross works to prevent and alleviate human suffering, both in the Netherlands and around the world. Their key areas of focus include: Food Assistance in the Netherlands: Over 450,000 people in the Netherlands struggle to afford food. The Red Cross distributes grocery cards to those who fall through the cracks — such as people who earn just above the threshold for regular aid or lack the proper documentation. Emergency Response: Providing rapid aid during disasters and crises, both nationally and internationally. First Aid & Preparedness: Offering first aid training and helping communities prepare for emergencies. Restoring Family Links: Reuniting families separated by conflict, disaster, or migration. Humanitarian Support: Assisting vulnerable groups like refugees, the homeless, and victims of exploitation. Data-Driven Relief: Using technology and data to deliver faster, more targeted humanitarian aid.

On June 24, 2026, two powerful earthquakes (7.2 and 7.5 magnitude) struck north-central Venezuela, among the strongest in over a century. Buildings collapsed in Caracas and surrounding states, power and hospitals were disrupted, and a state of emergency was declared. Search and rescue is underway; official casualty and damage figures are still being assessed. Your donation to this Fund will help the following organizations provide on-the-ground needs assessments, rescue efforts, resource distribution, and medical intervention to those impacted.
