Venezuela Earthquake Death Toll Exceeds 1,400 Amid Ongoing Rescue Efforts

Venezuela is experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis following two powerful earthquakes, which have now claimed over 1,400 lives and left thousands missing. The second tremor, a magnitude 7.5, was the strongest in over a century, causing widespread structural damage including the collapse of more than 100 buildings. Rescue teams are diligently searching for survivors in affected areas like Caracas and La Guaira, with the shallow depth of the quakes contributing to the extensive destruction.
