Venezuela Shaken by Double Earthquake

Two devastating earthquakes, a 7.2 and a 7.5, struck Venezuela just 39 seconds apart, collapsing buildings and killing hundreds. Thousands now sleep in parks, plazas, and on highways, with no homes to return to—fear of aftershocks and structural collapse keeping many out. In a country already crippled by poverty and humanitarian crisis, the quake’s impact is catastrophic: families shelter under palm trees and beach umbrellas, cars become beds, and rescue teams scramble amid crumbling infrastructure. Over half of Caracas was built before seismic safety codes were introduced, leaving buildings dangerously vulnerable. With thousands still missing and shelters scarce, survivors like Alexandra Martínez and Desiré Gil wait for answers—while the future of their homes remains uncertain.
