We’ve raised more than £1.5 million to help the most vulnerable people survive and recover after the #earthquakes in #Venezuela.

Thanks so much for every donation.

With this surge of funds, our members will be able to support communities for months to come.

[DEC in Scotland @DECScotland]

Hundred of thousands of people have lost their homes in the #Venezuela #Earthquakes but also shops to buy food and somewhere to cook it.

That's why it's vital to get food packages to mothers like Alexari and her baby.

It's hard to overstate the scale of the loss felt by people who've not just lost homes but family and friends buried in collapsed buildings after the #Venezuela #Earthquakes.

Yajaira has lost her granddaughter but finds some comfort from her two dogs that were rescued.
