CARACAS—Just days after a pair of earthquakes rocked northern Venezuela, claiming the lives of over 2,000 people according to official reports, the wave of solidarity that engulfed the country has only grown, as citizens organize to supply everything from water, food, clothes, and blankets to thousands of people whose homes were destroyed.
From the first hours after the tragedy, Venezuelans, who have been living for years with dire economic instability under the Chavista regime, took to the streets to organize grassroots relief efforts for their fellow citizens wary of when government and international aid will arrive.
