MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — To help the victims of the earthquakes in northern Venezuela, Amazon announced a new partnership with Airlink to support seven weekly flights from Miami-Dade County to Caracas.

The Seattle-based multinational announced a commitment to donate the cost of aircraft and fuel, while the airline based in South Africa runs the cargo.

“You’re looking at 35 tons of goods that in just a few hours will be in the hands of those who need it most,” Bettina Stix, the director of Amazon’s community impact, said on Thursday at Miami International Airport.

The partners are working with U.S. State Department personnel who are in communication with Venezuelan authorities to make sure the flights have access.

“Amazon’s donated airlift capacity allows us to move quickly and efficiently to heavily impacted communities,” Paloma Adams-Allen, Airlink’s president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.

Amazon and Airlink are also working with the United Nations World Food Program to manage the distribution of the aid once its in Caracas.

“This has been a huge effort by our team to get this air bridge started,” said Stephanie Steege, the vice president of humanitarian programs at Airlink.

Venezuelan officials reported the death toll was at 3,811, there were about 190 buildings destroyed, some 855 buildings damaged, and 18,000 people displaced.
