A Greek woman living in Caracas has described the harrowing aftermath of two significant earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale, that struck Venezuela. She reports that the initial 7.2 magnitude quake caused substantial damage, while a subsequent, stronger tremor completely leveled structures. The survivor indicated that warnings of a major earthquake had been circulating since 2020. She expressed concerns about a potentially high death toll, estimating it could reach 10,000. Her account, shared with protothema.gr, details the dramatic hours following the quakes and the widespread destruction experienced in the city. The full extent of the damage and casualties remains unclear as rescue and assessment efforts continue.
