Venezuela has been hit by a catastrophic series of back-to-back earthquakes, resulting in at least 188 confirmed deaths and leaving over 41,000 people still missing. These two powerful earthquakes, classified as a ‘doublet,’ have caused staggering destruction across the nation, particularly in Caracas and La Guaira, where entire buildings collapsed. Rescue teams are racing against time to save those trapped under the rubble, with fears that thousands more may have perished in the disaster. In response, international aid organizations and governments, including the U.S. and Israel, are mobilizing to provide assistance. Experts are warning that the mental health impact of these quakes could last for years, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive support for the affected populations. As the situation develops, satellite internet service providers like Starlink are stepping in to provide vital communication links amidst the chaos.
