Twin earthquakes killed at least 1,450 people in Venezuela, with rescue teams continuing to pull survivors from collapsed buildings after four days of operations. The death toll is still climbing as rubble is cleared and more bodies are found. Venezuela's infrastructure was already fragile before the earthquakes—hospitals, emergency services, and utilities are strained—which made rescue and recovery much harder than in countries with more robust systems.
The humanitarian crisis is compounded by Venezuela's economic collapse. Medical capacity is limited, fuel for rescue equipment is scarce, and coordinating response across the country is difficult. International aid is being offered, but Venezuela's government relationships mean some countries can help while others face barriers. Thousands of displaced people need shelter and food while the country struggles to treat the injured and identify the dead.
