A major rescue operation is underway in Venezuela following powerful earthquakes that struck overnight. Dozens of buildings have collapsed, and rescue workers are searching for survivors trapped under rubble. The official death toll currently stands at 32, but is expected to rise significantly, with over 700 reported injuries. Unofficial sources report 8,336 people are missing. The USGS estimates the death toll could range from 10,000 to 100,000, based on the quake’s magnitude and local conditions. These earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5, are among the strongest to hit Venezuela in a century. Aid organizations, including the Red Cross and CARE Nederland, are on the ground providing support, emphasizing the critical need for rescue efforts within the next 48 hours, and the Venezuelan government has accepted international assistance.
