When the earthquakes struck Venezuela, @cruzrojacol teams were already mobilising.

With support from the EU and the @roteskreuz_de, trucks crossed from Colombia to reach La Guaira.

They're now running mobile health clinics and supporting people in temporary shelters.

Meet Joao.

He’s one of 11 experts deployed by the EU Emergency Response Coordination Centre to coordinate the EU’s response to the Venezuela earthquake — directly on the ground.

In this video, he breaks down what European solidarity looks like in practice.

🇪🇺🤝🇻🇪

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

Behind every deployment, there's a room where it all comes together.

Our duty officer takes you inside the ERCC, the EU's Emergency Response Coordination Centre - where European solidarity becomes action, around the clock.

14 countries. One coordinated response. For #Venezuela.

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

🔴BREAKING: A 5.1 magnitude aftershock has struck the same area of #Venezuela.

All EU teams on the ground are safe and operations continue.

The EU's Emergency Response Coordination Centre is fully operational and monitoring the situation closely.

#VenezuelaEarthquake

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

The French rescue team, deployed through the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism, worked alongside a US rescue team to save a father and his son in Venezuela — buried under the rubble for nearly 96 hours.

This is what international solidarity looks like.

🙏🇫🇷
