A string of major disasters in 2026 have had devastating consequences. Earthquakes in Venezuela and Colombia and floods in Nepal have displaced thousands and caused widespread destruction.
These events have prompted responses from diaspora groups in the United States, who are mobilizing to provide aid and support to their homelands. These groups, often composed of individuals who have emigrated but maintain strong ties to their countries of origin, play a crucial role in disaster relief efforts by leveraging their networks, resources, and cultural understanding to facilitate assistance.
