Venezuela Earthquake Crisis Deepens | US News

Two devastating earthquakes in Northern Venezuela have triggered a catastrophic humanitarian disaster, killing over 2,200 and injuring more than 10,000—with tens of thousands still missing. Satellite data reveals nearly 60,000 buildings destroyed, and up to 6.8 million people may need aid. Amid crumbling infrastructure and overwhelmed hospitals, locals are digging through rubble with bare hands to find survivors. While international rescue teams have arrived, including one that saved a three-year-old child nearly a week later, government delays—caused by police checkpoints and permits—have drawn fierce criticism. Thousands of volunteers have taken matters into their own hands, launching neighborhood rescue efforts as the death toll continues to climb.
