Unreachable After the Quake, This Tribe Finally Got Help When They Needed It Most

SARANGGANI, Philippines — Two weeks after a powerful earthquake struck the southern Philippines, some survivors have received little to no assistance because of landslides. One of those communities is the indigenous Blaan tribe that lives in a remote mountain village. For decades, the Blaan people lived peacefully in Lao, Saranggani province. Then, the 7.8 magnitude earthquake destroyed their village. Jenny Odong shared her harrowing experience when the ground shook violently. "I was so afraid. I cried out to the Lord for help. I grabbed my children and we ran to the plaza. I saw our house collapse and the ground had big cracks everywhere."

(June 25, 2026) — Operation Blessing is deploying its Global Disaster Response team to Venezuela following two powerful earthquakes that struck the country on June 24, causing widespread destruction, significant loss of life, and leaving thousands in urgent need of assistance. The back-to-back earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude, rocked central Venezuela and sent severe tremors through Caracas and surrounding regions. Buildings collapsed, critical infrastructure was damaged, and emergency responders continue search-and-rescue efforts as aftershocks complicate recovery operations. In response to the disaster, the United States government has pledged emergency assistance to support rescue, recovery, and humanitarian relief efforts, underscoring the international concern over the scale of the crisis.
