Venezuelans in Colombia scramble to send aid as earthquakes death toll increases

In the aftermath of a devastating double earthquake in Venezuela, President Delcy Rodríguez has vowed to rescue as many people as possible as the death toll surpasses 1,400, with over 3,200 injured and many still missing. The disaster has left thousands homeless, and frustration is mounting over the slow response due to limited resources and an overwhelmed health system. In Colombia, which hosts a large Venezuelan community, volunteers are gathering essential supplies to aid survivors. Isabel Mendoza, a Venezuelan living in Colombia, and Mariana Godoy, a logistics specialist, are among those contributing to relief efforts. Humanitarian groups are coordinating to send aid to Venezuela, anticipating a prolonged crisis.
