Two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela, resulting in at least 164 deaths and over 1,000 injuries, with many people trapped under collapsed buildings. These quakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude, were among the strongest in the country in over a century. In response, world leaders expressed solidarity and offered assistance. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the deployment of search and rescue teams and humanitarian aid. French President Emmanuel Macron sent 85 rescue workers, while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum dispatched military and medical personnel. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva pledged support for recovery efforts, and China expressed willingness to assist.
