MIAMI — North Carolina-based Samaritan’s Purse deployed a team from Colombia to Venezuela after the 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes struck on Wednesday.
The Christian nonprofit, working with the support of the U.S. State Department, plans to “airlift an Emergency Field Hospital, as well as shelter tarp, solar lights, blankets, and water filters.”
Franklin Graham, the nonprofit’s president, released a statement on Facebook: “Pray for rescue and recovery operations, first responders, and all who are injured or grieving lost loved ones.”
