It is now "a race against time" to get the required help to Venezuela after the South American country was hit by two "immense" earthquakes last week, Oxfam has said.
Two strong earthquakes struck Venezuela within seconds of one another on Wednesday, causing untold damage in several parts of the country.
At least 1,700 people are so far known to have died in the 7.2 and 7.5-magnitude quakes, which caused hundreds of buildings to collapse and leaving many trapped in the rubble.
Magnus Corfixen, the humanitarian lead for Oxford-based Oxfam GB, said the charity's "first priority" was establishing an "overview of the situation" with its partners on the ground.
The charity has launched an emergency appeal for those affected.
