Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodríguez has declared seven days of national mourning after twin earthquakes killed 2,295 people across the country. The disaster, described as the strongest in a century, struck a week ago, leaving hopes of finding more survivors fading. According to National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez, more than 11,000 people were injured and around 13,000 left homeless. The United Nations estimates that about 50,000 people remain missing.
The northern city of La Guaira, near Caracas, suffered the worst damage, with collapsed buildings marked with a red “D” to indicate no survivors. Despite rescue efforts, the country’s long-standing economic crisis and weakened infrastructure have hampered response operations. Anger has grown among residents over poor state management, while food and water shortages have triggered clashes in shelters and widespread looting. Four police officers were arrested for theft from debris sites.
The International Organization for Migration called the situation “extremely complex.” The World Food Programme appealed for $50 million to feed 500,000 people over three months, and the World Health Organization warned of potential outbreaks of measles and diphtheria due to low vaccination rates.
