Verified context (June 26, 2026):
A National State of Emergency has been declared for Distrito Capital, La Guaira, Falcón, Carabobo, Yaracuy, Aragua, Miranda, Trujillo, and Lara. More than 2,900 families have been affected. Rescue teams from at least 16 countries (Mexico, Colombia, El Salvador, Chile, Spain, the U.S., among others) are already on the ground. Before using any help phone number, confirm it through a current official source — lines change and become saturated in a crisis of this scale.

📋 About lists of hospitalized people circulating on social media:
Lists with names of people admitted to specific hospitals — such as Hospital Universitario de Caracas, Pérez Carreño, Domingo Luciani, Periférico de Catia, and Red Cross posts — have circulated on social media (Instagram, X, WhatsApp groups). We do not reproduce those names here because we cannot verify whether they are still current, whether the person has already been discharged, or whether the information is accurate. Republishing that information without control can create more confusion than help. If you are looking for someone, the safest approach is to: (1) call the hospital directly, (2) check the platforms above, or (3) if you have access to those lists through social media, treat them as a lead to verify, not as confirmed information.

In a crisis of this scale, scams with fake fundraising campaigns circulate. Do not transfer money to unknown personal accounts. Prioritize organizations with a verifiable track record (Red Cross, Caritas, UNICEF, embassies) over individual social-media collections.
