Twin Earthquakes Devastate Venezuela

Rescue crews are engaged in a frantic search for survivors after two powerful earthquakes struck only 39 seconds apart along Venezuela’s northern coast on Wednesday.

Officials have confirmed at least 235 people are dead and more than 4,300 injured, with hundreds still trapped under rubble and tens of thousands unaccounted for.

The U.S. military is surging forces to support disaster relief, including deploying Navy warships, transport planes, and helicopters while authorizing $150 million in emergency aid.

Venezuelan expat communities from South Florida to Calgary are mobilizing to send relief supplies as hospitals struggle to treat the wounded and care for children separated from their families.
