Venezuela Struck by Two Consecutive Powerful Earthquakes, High Casualties Feared
A major disaster has struck Venezuela following reports of two consecutive powerful earthquakes, known as "twin earthquakes," in areas near the nation's capital. The tremors caused widespread panic and significant damage to residents in the affected areas.
According to news reports, the first earthquake measured magnitude 7.2, with its epicenter located near a major city. Shortly thereafter, a second earthquake followed, increasing in intensity to magnitude 7.5. The powerful tremors were felt across a wide region and neighboring areas.
The impact of the earthquakes caused numerous buildings and homes to collapse instantly. Rescue workers and relevant agencies are rushing to the scene to search for and assist those who may be trapped under the rubble. There are growing concerns from various parties that the death toll could reach tens of thousands due to the severity of the event occurring in densely populated residential areas.
Currently, the situation in Venezuela remains critical. Many people have been left homeless and remain in a state of shock. The government is urgently assessing the total damage and working to provide essential aid, such as food, drinking water, and temporary shelter, to the victims as quickly as possible.
