Venezuela Quake Toll Hits 1,450, Rescue Hopes Fade

The death toll from Venezuela’s devastating twin earthquakes has climbed to at least 1,450, with tens of thousands still missing.

A strong 4.6-magnitude aftershock rattled Caracas on Monday as rescue workers pushed through the critical 72-hour survival window.

International teams, including US and French crews, have been working to locate survivors, but authorities warn the operation is increasingly shifting from rescue to recovery.

Families of two professional football players were among the victims, highlighting the disaster’s broad impact.
