The University of Valencia wishes to express its consternation regarding the tragedy occurring in Venezuela after the earthquakes. Condolences go out to the victims and support for anyone affected, with thousands of people confirmed dead. Rescue teams are working against the clock to localize a lot of the missing people under the rubble.

We would particularly like to emphasise support to the university community of the South American country, which has stopped all activities across Venezuela in order to provide support with the tasks for the recovery of normality. These tasks range from emergency work to organization of humanitarian aid. We also express our support for Venezuelans who are members of our university community.

We would like to call for action on everyone, professors, research staff, technical staff, management staff, administration and services staff and students, so that their support is effective to the affected.

People who want to make an economic contribution make a transfer to the bank account provided by the Universitat de València:

A BIZUM number has also been set up for donations: 14553
