U.S. Southern Command Coordinates Humanitarian Aid for Venezuela Earthquake Victims from Panama

The U.S. Southern Command is coordinating humanitarian aid from Panama to support communities devastated by earthquakes in Venezuela on June 24, 2026. Soldiers from the U.S. Army are working alongside Panamanian personnel in logistics operations, including the loading and sorting of essential supplies.

These efforts are part of the Joint Security Cooperation Group-Panama, an initiative designed to enhance regional security and disaster response coordination between the United States and Panama. The operation aims to expedite the delivery of aid to the affected areas.

Footage released by the Southern Command shows the continuous movement of equipment and resources at logistical centers. These centers are preparing vital supplies destined for Venezuela to address the most urgent needs of those impacted by the earthquakes. The U.S. military's support is directed by the Southern Command and complements the humanitarian response led by the U.S. Department of State.
