Double Earthquake in Venezuela: Death Toll Rises to 188
Venezuela was struck by two successive earthquakes last Wednesday. Local authorities announced that the number of victims has increased significantly over the last few hours. This is a major emergency situation for the South American country, which must cope with this natural disaster.
According to the latest information released on Thursday, the death toll now stands at at least 188. Additionally, there are more than 1,500 injured, some of whom are in serious condition. Rescue workers continue to search the rubble in hopes of finding survivors, although working conditions are difficult.
The tremors caused the collapse of many residential buildings and cut off electricity in several regions. Local hospitals are currently overwhelmed by the constant arrival of the injured. To respond to the emergency, the government has mobilized the army and civil protection services to assist the population.
The international community is beginning to organize humanitarian aid to support Venezuela during this ordeal. The coming days will be critical for stabilizing the situation and providing temporary shelter to those who have lost their homes. Authorities remain on high alert due to the risk of further aftershocks.
