International search and rescue teams are rapidly deploying to Venezuela following two powerful earthquakes that have claimed at least 589 lives. Teams from at least 17 countries are participating in the emergency response effort, focusing on locating survivors amidst the rubble. The earthquakes have caused widespread damage and triggered a large-scale humanitarian crisis. Venezuelan authorities have welcomed the international assistance as they struggle to cope with the scale of the disaster. Rescue operations are ongoing, but hampered by damaged infrastructure and challenging terrain. The death toll is expected to rise as search efforts continue and more remote areas are reached.
