Rescuers Race Against Time After Twin Earthquakes Kill Over 900 in Venezuela
Twin earthquakes in northern Venezuela have killed more than 900 people, with many trapped under rubble; international teams join rescue efforts as the window to find survivors narrows.
Rescue operations continued on Saturday in Venezuela following two powerful earthquakes that have claimed over 900 lives in the country's northern region. The natural disaster left numerous residents trapped beneath collapsed buildings, and emergency crews are working tirelessly to locate survivors. The window for finding people alive is quickly closing as time passes since the last tremor.
International search and rescue teams have already arrived to assist local authorities, helping to expedite the efforts. Experts warn that the chances of finding survivors diminish with each passing hour, as more than 24 hours have elapsed since the second earthquake. The number of casualties is expected to rise as rescuers dig through the debris.
Authorities have not yet provided a final toll of the dead or the full extent of the damage, but it is estimated that thousands have been left homeless. The international community has pledged support, and several nations have dispatched specialists and equipment to aid in the relief operation.
