The death toll from twin earthquakes in Venezuela has reached at least 920, with more than 3,300 injured and thousands homeless. The 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude quakes struck near Caracas on Wednesday, causing widespread destruction, including the collapse of over 1,400 structures. Rescue teams from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Mexico, and other nations have arrived to assist in search-and-rescue efforts, providing medical aid, structural expertise, and canine units. The U.S. Southern Command has deployed military support, while Mexico sent 250 soldiers and 18 rescue dogs. The UK dispatched a 68-person team, and Canada’s Burnaby Urban Search and Rescue sent a seven-member contingent. The Venezuelan government has placed the hardest-hit state, La Guaira, under military control to manage the crisis. Meanwhile, reports indicate over 50,000 people remain missing, with rescue operations ongoing amid concerns the death toll could rise further.
