In a show of solidarity, eight aid collection centers have been set up in Lambayeque, Peru, to assist those affected by recent earthquakes in Venezuela. This initiative is spearheaded by a group of Venezuelans and Peruvians who are working together to gather essential supplies for the victims.

The collaborative effort has already yielded significant results. Last weekend, the group successfully dispatched their first shipment of 10 tons of aid. This crucial delivery included vital supplies such as food, clothing, and medicine, aimed at alleviating the immediate suffering of those impacted by the natural disaster.

Despite this initial success, the organizers emphasize that the need for support remains critical. The affected populations in Venezuela are still facing severe hardship and require substantial ongoing assistance to recover from the devastation caused by the earthquakes. The collection centers in Lambayeque will continue to receive donations to facilitate further aid shipments.
