In the aftermath of devastating earthquakes, Venezuelan children find fleeting moments of joy in a city park.

Many children in Venezuela are traumatized by severe earthquakes, having lost parents, friends, or classmates. In Parque del Este, a city park in Caracas, they experience brief moments of normalcy as they play.

A young mother, living in a makeshift tent with her two children, expresses uncertainty about their future. Her seven-year-old daughter, visibly shaken, seeks comfort in her embrace. Psychologists are on-site to assess the children’s psychosocial needs, as many struggle with the emotional aftermath of the disaster.
