What happened
Two powerful earthquakes struck northern Venezuela within seconds on Wednesday evening, collapsing buildings in Caracas and coastal communities and killing at least 188 people, with hundreds injured, trapped or missing. The quakes, measured around magnitude 7.2 and 7.5, were among the strongest to hit the country in more than a century and left rescue teams digging through rubble as officials warned the toll could rise sharply. Search-and-rescue crews rushed toward the shattered northern coast while survivors were pulled from debris, including children shown climbing out of collapsed structures. The disaster prompted a state of emergency, widespread displacement and urgent efforts to assess damage across miles of affected neighborhoods.
