The death toll from the twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela has risen to 1,430, with 3,238 people injured and 3,142 families displaced, authorities confirmed on Saturday.
President of Venezuela’s National Assembly Jorge Rodríguez disclosed that about 430 aftershocks have been recorded since the powerful 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude quakes devastated the coastal region around La Guaira on Wednesday.
The first US humanitarian flights have landed in Caracas, with two American search-and-rescue teams assisting in the search for survivors. The USS Fort Lauderdale has also arrived to support relief operations.
Key Points:
The 72-hour rescue window is closing, reducing hopes of finding more survivors.
The US has deployed mobile hospitals, Starlink terminals, and search-and-rescue teams.
Logistical challenges are delaying aid to some of the hardest-hit communities.
Millions remain without shelter, clean water, and electricity.
The international response continues to grow, but humanitarian needs are escalating.
Rescue operations continue, but the death toll is expected to rise. The international community is mobilising to support Venezuela’s recovery.
