Venezuela has declared a state of emergency following a series of earthquakes that struck the country. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez made the announcement in her first official statement since the tremors began. Significant structural damage has been reported, leading to the closure of Maiquetía International Airport. Authorities are calling for medical personnel – doctors and nurses – to report to hospitals to assist with potential casualties. The extent of the damage and the number of affected individuals remain unclear, but the government is mobilizing resources to respond to the crisis. This marks a significant disruption to travel and healthcare infrastructure within Venezuela. Further assessments are underway to determine the full impact of the earthquakes.
