The number of casualties continues to rise following a series of powerful earthquakes that recently struck Venezuela. On the 26th local time, tragic news arrived that the death toll from the earthquakes has surpassed 900. Since the earthquakes occurred, the scale of the damage has been increasing daily.
In particular, rescue operations have entered an emergency state as the number of missing persons has exceeded 50,000. Rescue workers are currently continuing search efforts among collapsed buildings, but they are facing significant difficulties due to the vast size of the affected area and poor environmental conditions. Families of the missing are waiting for news of rescues with desperate hearts.
Experts anticipate that the death toll will rise significantly as search operations progress. Concerns are growing as the likelihood of finding buried survivors decreases with each passing hour. The Venezuelan government is currently mobilizing all available personnel to focus on disaster recovery and search efforts.

The entire world is currently watching the situation in Venezuela and hoping for a swift recovery of the affected areas. International attention and aid are urgently needed for the treatment of the injured and support for the displaced. It is hoped that rescue operations will be completed safely and that there will be no further loss of life.
