Rescue operations are ongoing in Venezuela following recent earthquakes, complicated by continuing aftershocks. Teams are working against the clock to locate survivors trapped under collapsed buildings. International aid and volunteer groups have joined the efforts, assisting in the search for victims. The response has not been without criticism, with some questioning the government’s handling of the disaster and speed of aid delivery. New tremors continue to hamper rescue work and raise concerns about structural integrity of remaining buildings. The full extent of the damage and casualties remains unclear as assessments continue.
