Venezuela Earthquakes: Death Toll Rises, International Aid Mobilized Amid Humanitarian Crisis

The death toll from devastating twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24 has risen to over 900, with some reports indicating up to 1,430 fatalities, and tens of thousands are reported missing. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates up to 6.76 million people could be affected. International rescue teams are arriving, but efforts are challenged by limited equipment and an overstretched health system, leading to growing frustration on the ground. The UN is mobilizing assistance, with search and rescue as the top priority.
