UN launches appeal to raise $296 mln for Venezuela quake relief

The United Nations launched an urgent appeal Wednesday to raise $296 million for Venezuela earthquake relief operations after the death toll from the disaster rose to more than 3,600 people.

"We do have a clear plan. $296 million needed to reach 1.3 million in socioeconomic need right now over six months. It's a time-bound plan," U.N. humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher said.
