Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are currently in Caracas, Venezuela, where 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes struck in rapid succession on June 24. Hundreds of people are reported to have died and thousands more are injured.
We delivered a donation of emergency trauma kits for approximately 200 patients to José María Vargas Hospital in La Guaira and our teams are working to donate hundreds more to other hospitals in need. We are assessing the needs to see how we can support the local authorities’ response. We will continue donating trauma kits, scaling up resources, and coordinating with local partners, while also preparing a more comprehensive medical humanitarian response.
MSF USA is entirely funded by independent donors. When a disaster strikes, we can act fast and save lives — sometimes within a matter of hours. Help us continue providing emergency medical aid across the world by making a gift now.
Charity Navigator, the nation's premier charity evaluator, has awarded Doctors Without Borders its four-star rating—the highest possible—for its unwavering commitment to operational excellence.

Unrestricted donations enable MSF to carry out our programs around the world. While we try to honor requests to earmark, should we receive more gifts than we can use for a program, we will reallocate them where the needs are greatest.
