Thousands of Venezuelans affected by devastating earthquakes in June 2026 face severe water shortages and sanitation crises.In La Guaira, families are using beaches for showers and makeshift solutions like storing water in plastic tanks, while many live in temporary shelters or outdoors after 190 buildings collapsed.Survivors like Juliani Herrera describe relying on infrequent tanker deliveries and improvised hygiene measures.The government estimates 18,000 people are displaced, living in schools and public spaces, with limited access to clean water.International aid efforts, including food and hygiene kits from the U.S., are underway, but challenges persist.Experts warn of disease risks due to overcrowding and poor sanitation.Acting President Delcy Rodríguez announced plans for earthquake-resistant housing and requested access to frozen gold reserves.The UN estimates $37 billion in damages, with appeals for $300 million in aid to assist 1.3 million Venezuelans.Survivors show resilience through community efforts, but systemic issues remain unresolved.
