Boy rescued alive three days after Venezuela earthquakes as death toll rises
Rescue teams from nine countries scramble as Venezuelas twin quakes death toll rises to 920
Death toll from Venezuelas twin quakes surges past 920 as rescue teams from nine countries race to find survivors
The death toll from Venezuela’s twin earthquakes has risen to 920, with more than 50,000 people still missing as rescue teams from nine countries scramble to locate survivors trapped beneath collapsed buildings. The quakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale, struck near Caracas and La Guaira on Wednesday evening, triggering a desperate 72-hour window for survivors that is now nearing its end.
Nearly 6.8 million people may have been affected by the disaster, including two million in the capital, according to the United Nations. The UN warned that the final death toll could far exceed current estimates, with tens of thousands still unaccounted for.
Venezuela has declared the northern coast a disaster zone under military control, with 1,600 foreign rescuers now on the ground. Teams from the EU, Switzerland, Turkey, and the U.S. have joined local emergency responders, though frustration is mounting over limited resources and logistical delays.
The crisis has exposed deep public anger toward acting President Delcy Rodríguez, who was jeered by residents in devastated areas as rescue efforts faltered. A new aftershock measuring 4.9 struck overnight, further complicating operations.
Among the most harrowing stories to emerge is that of Héctor Bello, a Venezuelan footballer whose wife died shielding their one-year-old daughter during the quakes. Bello shared the heartbreaking account on social media, describing how his wife sacrificed her life to save their child.
International aid is pouring in, with Spain reporting 133 of its citizens missing and the U.S. easing sanctions to facilitate relief efforts. The European Union has mobilized over 520 emergency responders, while Starlink has offered free satellite internet to affected areas.
As the 72-hour rescue window closes, experts warn the chances of finding survivors diminish by the hour. Rescue teams are now prioritizing the distribution of water and food, with engineers assessing structural damage to prevent further collapses. The disaster, described as the worst in Venezuela in over a century, has left entire communities in ruins, with satellite images revealing the full scale of destruction.
