🇻🇪 Nearly two weeks after twin earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 devastated Venezuela's northern coast on June 24, the state of La Guaira remains the epicenter of the tragedy. Areas including Caraballeda, Catia La Mar, and Macuto suffered the heaviest destruction, with hundreds of buildings reduced to rubble.
Authorities report more than 3,300 d3aths and over 16,700 people inj*red since the disaster began, alongside widespread damage to homes, roads, and critical infrastructure. Rescue crews, military units, and civilian volunteers have continued digging through unstable debris, working carefully to avoid further collapses as they search for anyone still trapped.
A widely shared video appeared to show a mother and her three children, including an infant, being freed alive from the fallen OPP Caribe building. Journalist Román Camacho later clarified that although the rescue itself was genuine, the footage circulated was actually filmed earlier in the search operation, not on the date recently claimed online.
