ISTANBUL, July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tiryaki USA extends its deepest condolences to the families who lost loved ones and expresses its heartfelt sympathy to everyone affected by the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24. As rescue and recovery efforts continue, the company has launched an emergency humanitarian response to support affected communities through emergency food assistance and temporary shelter, implemented in close coordination with international and local humanitarian partners.
As part of its emergency response, Tiryaki USA launched a large-scale humanitarian relief operation to support communities affected by the earthquake and made a significant financial contribution to World Central Kitchen (WCK), enabling the organization to provide emergency meals to thousands of people impacted by the disaster. The company also delivered food kits designed by WCK nutrition experts, with emergency food assistance already reaching affected families.
To address the urgent need for safe shelter, Tiryaki USA has also provided emergency tents in coordination with the U.S. Embassy in Venezuela and the U.S. Department of State's Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART).
