Tragedy in Venezuela: Deadly Twin Earthquakes Shatter Caracas! 🇻🇪💔
A catastrophic disaster has struck Venezuela as two incredibly powerful earthquakes hit back-to-back in under a minute, leaving a trail of destruction across the country. The rare and devastating "seismic doublet" began with a magnitude 7.2 tremor, followed just 39 seconds later by a massive magnitude 7.5 mainshock—making this the strongest earthquake event to hit Venezuela since 1900.
The impact has plunged the nation into a state of emergency. In the capital of Caracas, entire high-rises and buildings have collapsed, including a 22-story building in the Altamira neighborhood, where rescue workers are desperately digging through the rubble for survivors. With the Simon Bolívar International Airport shut down due to severe structural damage and the coastal state of La Guaira declared a total disaster zone, Acting President Delcy Rodríguez has confirmed at least 164 deaths and nearly 1,000 injuries, with the toll expected to rise significantly.
In this video, we cover the latest updates on the ground, the unprecedented nature of these twin quakes, and the massive international rescue response mobilized to aid the Venezuelan people.
