The Civil Defense officials of Venezuela said 400,000 people are homeless. This disaster has affected more than 600,000 people. 

The worst damage was along the Caribbean coast and in Caracas. Most of the victims were buried in avalanches of mud or swept downstream. Survivors, some setting up makeshift tents in the streets, still wait anxiously for missing friends and relatives to appear. Sadly, a lot of people will remain buried, since there is no way of rescuing them due to the hardened mud.

We are asking every one to extend their goodwill to help relief efforts underway in Venezuela as the result of this serious tragedy. You can try to make a difference in these people’s life by helping.
