GEM in partnership with I Love Foundation, and the U.S. State Department - every day, across some of the hardest-hit communities in Venezuela, GEM LATAM and I Love Venezuela teams continue working tirelessly to deliver lifesaving aid to families devastated by the catastrophic earthquakes.
This video offers an inside look at our daily humanitarian operations and the extraordinary effort required to reach thousands of survivors each day. More importantly, it shares the deeply personal stories behind the crisis - families grieving loved ones, those who have lost everything, and resilient communities determined to still cling to hope, gratitude and a smile despite unimaginable loss.
While emergency relief remains critical, GEM is equally committed to standing alongside these communities throughout the long road to recovery.
Response to Date:
• 135,184 people served with GEM Family Necessity Kits
• 1,684 pallets of humanitarian aid delivered
• 20 cargo aircraft deployed
• 5 military landing craft missions completed
• 25 shipping containers currently in transit
• 2,068,171 lbs. (938.11 tons) of aid delivered
• $8,973,671.87 in humanitarian assistance distributed
This is far more than a relief operation, it is a promise that the people of Venezuela will not face this tragedy alone.

Texas Flood Response Update | Texas Hill Country
Conan Scott, Director of Operations for GEM USA Southwest, is reporting from the front lines of the ongoing flooding across the Texas Hill Country.
GEM responded immediately to last summer’s catastrophic flash floods that claimed more than 130 lives. Since then, our teams have remained on the ground, helping families, homeowners, and local businesses rebuild. Now, just 12 months later, many of those same communities are facing devastating losses once again.
Over the past 48 hours, GEM USA Southwest has:
• Distributed emergency beverages and hygiene kits to shelters.
• Conducted damage assessments for impacted businesses.
• Coordinated volunteers to begin muck-outs, debris removal, and heavy equipment operations.
• Prepared to launch emergency Cash Card distributions beginning tomorrow.
Our teams are actively assessing the hardest-hit communities to identify the most urgent needs and determine the next phase of our response.
Recovery is only beginning, and these communities need our support now more than ever.
