\n\tDanny Ocean, Lele Pons and Lasso are among the artists who have turned their social media platforms into a resource for those affected by two earthquakes that struck Venezuela, their home country, on Wednesday night (June 24). The quakes caused the collapse of multiple buildings, primarily in the coastal region of La Guaira, north of Caracas, as well as in the capital city.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes are among the strongest to hit Venezuela in more than a century, and were felt across the region, according to the Associated Press, which by Thursday morning (June 25) reported at least 164 dead and nearly 1,000 injured.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn social media, videos shared by hundreds of users showed the magnitude of the tragedy, with people fleeing terrified from buildings and shopping centers during the quake, and rescue teams later working to pull survivors and victims from the rubble. Others pleaded desperately for help in locating their loved ones.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the first artists to react to the tragedy were Danny Ocean and Lele Pons, who shared a joint post on Instagram calling both those affected and aid groups to use the reach of their social networks \u2014 which have more than 50 million followers combined \u2014 to request help.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPlaces that need immediate assistance, shout in the comments! People willing to collaborate\u2026 on whatever is needed, coordinate in the comments,\u201d they wrote in their message. \u201cThis post is ONLY for people in Venezuela. We\u2019re leaving this here in case you need to shout for help! And for groups actively collaborating.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTheir compatriot Lasso also offered his platform to those in need. \u201cMy heart is broken. I can\u2019t believe the images coming in from the earthquake,\u201d he wrote on Instagram. \u201cMy social media is available to share any information that can help everyone in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOther artists such as Joaquina encouraged their followers to donate to organizations that have been working in Venezuela \u2014 a country already battered by political and socioeconomic crises over the past few decades \u2014 for years. The Venezuelan singer-songwriter addressed her fellow citizens inside and outside the country who are \u201clooking for a formal and organized way to do their bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere\u2019s a foundation called We Love Foundation. It\u2019s a non-profit organization that\u2019s been working for the people of Venezuela for over 10 years, both inside and outside the country,\u201d she said in a video posted Wednesday night on her Instagram, where she shared a GoFundMe campaign the foundation set up to deliver \u201csupplies, food, medicine \u2014 whatever aid is needed for today\u2019s victims.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the U.S. Geological Survey, the first of the two earthquakes, with a magnitude of 7.2, occurred west of Mor\u00f3n, on the Caribbean coast, about 105 miles west of Caracas, at a depth of about 14 miles, AP reported. Just a minute later, the USGS reported a second quake, this one with a magnitude of 7.5, a depth of about 6 miles and an epicenter located 10 miles southwest of Mor\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeveral nations have offered to send aid to Venezuela, including the United States, which earlier this year captured former president Nicol\u00e1s Maduro in a surprise military operation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
