Venezuela quakes kill almost 1,500, with millions more in need
Make us preferred on Google A damaged building is seen from the base camp of the French Civil Protection Training and Province involvement Combat group (UIISC 7) at the Karting La Guaira complex in Caraballeda, La Guaira province, Venezuela, June 27, 2026. — Reuters Locals pull infant alive out of wreckage 32 hours after quake. UN bureau states up to 6.76 million individuals could be affected. At least 17 countries mobilise rescuers to help find survivors. The death toll in Venezuela's twin earthquake crisis reached 1,430 on Saturday, and millions more were feared to lack sanitation and other basic needs as the first US relief flights trickled into Caracas.
Facing general outrage at the response by local representatives, US-backed interim Venezuelan head Delcy Rodriguez stated the country was "not alone."
The UN humanitarian bureau OCHA stated search-and-recovery effort teams from at least 17 countries were being mobilised to help find survivors.
But the search for survivors saw desperate attempts by local locals to claw away rubble from apartment buildings that collapsed in Wednesday's double-quakes. Experts say the first 72 hours after natural disasters are the key, narrow window for finding the living.
There was joy in the hardest-hit coastal area of La Guaira, north of Caracas, when locals pulled an infant alive out of the wreckage on Friday, some 32 hours after the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 tremors.
