A state of emergency has been declared in Venezuela following two powerful earthquakes that struck within minutes of each other. The first quake, magnitude 7.2, was centered 53 kilometers west of Puerto Cabello, followed by a 7.5 magnitude quake nearby. Multiple buildings have collapsed in the capital, Caracas, and authorities fear a high number of casualties, potentially reaching thousands. The USGS estimates at least one thousand deaths, with the possibility of up to ten thousand. Meanwhile, the Netherlands is experiencing another day of extreme heat, prompting travel advisories and increased demand for roadside assistance. Dutch Parliament is also scheduled to debate the future of the Moerdijk industrial area, and the Dutch national football team will play their final World Cup group stage match against Tunisia.
