Latin music stars including Marc Anthony, Luis Fonsi, Chayanne, Feid and Jay Wheeler will perform at an international benefit concert livestreamed from Miami on Sunday to raise funds for earthquake survivors in Venezuela and Colombia.

Proceeds from the "Unidos por Los Nuestros" (United for Our Own) concert will fund immediate and long-term recovery, including rebuilding homes and schools and providing mental health support. Anthony's nonprofit Maestro Cares Foundation and the Univision Foundation will administer the funds, supporting groups such as All Hands and Hearts, CARE, Global Empowerment Mission, Techo and World Central Kitchen.

The concert was originally planned for Venezuela, where twin earthquakes in June killed at least 6,300 people. Organizers expanded it after a 7.4-magnitude quake struck western Colombia on Monday, killing at least 265 people with nearly 500 reported missing as of Wednesday, according to Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella; civilian databases put the missing count above 4,100.

Rodner Figueroa of the I Love Venezuela Foundation said sustaining public attention remains the biggest challenge as tens of thousands of displaced Venezuelans still need housing, clean water and medical care more than six weeks after the disaster.

The concert airs Sunday at 6 p.m. EDT from Miami's Kaseya Center on Univision, ViX, WAPA and other TelevisaUnivision platforms. Viewers can donate via QR code by texting UNIDOS to 707070, or through univision.org.

Additional performers include Piso 21, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Ricardo Montaner and Olga Tañón with hosts including Don Francisco and Dayanara Torres.

Other artists are mobilizing separately: Rawayana's Fundación El After is aiding Venezuelan youth, Colombian stars like Shakira and Karol G rallied support online and Metallica's foundation donated $100,000 via Direct Relief. Conductor Gustavo Dudamel will also host a benefit concert August 23 at the Hollywood Bowl for Venezuela recovery efforts.
