A 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck off Venezuela's coast, resulting in 1,450 deaths, 3,150 injuries, and significant infrastructure damage. The U.S. is coordinating relief efforts, including deploying search-and-rescue teams and a ship, while Venezuelan authorities restricted access to La Guaira to manage aid traffic.

Venezuela's rescue efforts for survivors of twin 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes entered Day 3, with civilians and international teams searching rubble in La Guaira and Caracas. At least 920 are dead, over 51,000 missing, and survivors face challenges due to damaged infrastructure and limited state response.

Venezuela experienced twin earthquakes of 7.2 and 7.5 magnitudes, killing at least 32 people and injuring 700. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez declared a state of emergency, citing damage across multiple states and a 'disaster zone' in La Guaira. International aid offers arrived from the U.S., Argentina, Brazil, and others.
