Venezuela Earthquake Raises Crisis
A powerful earthquake struck Venezuela, with a magnitude of 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale, resulting in hundreds of deaths and over 50,000 people missing. The quake caused widespread destruction in the northern part of the country, particularly in the state of La Guaira. The acting Venezuelan president announced the deployment of 14,000 military and police personnel to address the crisis, amid international calls for help, after the United States sent a team of 250 people and donated $150 million to support rescue operations. More than 300 aftershocks have occurred since the two earthquakes, leading to building collapses and extensive destruction. This is among the strongest earthquakes to hit Venezuela in over a century.
