Malta has pledged financial assistance to Venezuela following devastating twin earthquakes that have caused widespread destruction and loss of life. The Maltese government will send €140,000 to aid the victims.
The decision comes as the death toll from the earthquakes has surpassed 1,700, with tens of thousands of people still reported missing across Venezuela.
The financial contribution is intended to support humanitarian efforts in the affected regions. The aid will be channelled through the Red Cross, an international organisation known for its disaster relief work.
The earthquakes have left a significant portion of the population in urgent need of assistance, including shelter, food, and medical care. Malta's contribution aims to help address some of these critical needs.
