Deadly Twin Earthquakes in Venezuela Kill Over 1,400 as Rescue Efforts Scale Up
More than 1,430 people have died after two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela this week. Rescue teams and local residents raced to pull survivors from the rubble as urgent calls went out for clean water, shelter and medical supplies. The United States sent relief flights and naval support, while the UN mobilised teams from over a dozen countries. In La Guaira, a baby was miraculously saved more than 32 hours after the tremors, offering a rare moment of hope amid widespread devastation. Anger is growing over the pace of the government response. Families say they have had to recover their loved ones themselves, and residents protested for more aid. Officials warn the death toll could rise and estimate that up to 6.8 million people now need emergency assistance.
