The death toll from the devastating earthquake in Venezuela has climbed to nearly 3,000 as rescue teams continue searching through collapsed buildings and damaged communities. Emergency workers, military personnel, and volunteers are racing against time to locate survivors, while thousands of residents remain displaced.
The powerful quake caused widespread destruction to homes, hospitals, schools, roads, and other critical infrastructure, leaving many areas without electricity, clean water, or reliable communication. Temporary shelters have been established to accommodate families who lost their homes, while humanitarian organizations are delivering food, medical supplies, and emergency assistance.
Government officials have declared a national emergency and appealed for international support to strengthen rescue operations and begin long-term recovery efforts. Several countries and global aid agencies have pledged financial assistance, relief materials, and specialized rescue teams.
Authorities continue to assess the full extent of the disaster, warning that the number of casualties may rise as search operations progress. The earthquake is among the deadliest natural disasters to strike Venezuela in recent history.
