Rescue teams continue a final search for survivors in Venezuela following twin earthquakes that struck last week, registering magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5 – the strongest in over a century. The official death toll has exceeded 1,700, with approximately 5,000 injured and an estimated 50,000 people still missing. Preliminary assessments indicate nearly 59,000 buildings have been damaged or destroyed, generating an estimated 1.2 million tonnes of debris, particularly in La Guaira state. A new 4.6 magnitude tremor on Monday renewed fears among residents. The US military has reopened the Port of La Guaira to deliver aid, while authorities are managing a growing number of fatalities, with cremations and burials occurring rapidly in Caracas. Families are grieving, and hopes of finding additional survivors are dwindling five days after the disaster.
