Hope Venezuela’s government can be transparent in managing the aid. Sometimes it’s prone to misuse in a chaotic situation like this. Our prayers from Algeria are with you.

Crazy, 39 seconds and two big quakes. Can’t imagine the panic that must’ve hit. Right now the main thing is making sure logistics and medical aid are flowing smoothly, don’t let anyone go hungry in the shelters.

Hats off to the thousands of volunteers and international teams who jumped right in. This is a test of humanity, not just about one country. Sending my best prayers to those still missing and injured.
