Massive search and rescue effort underway after Venezuela quakes kill at least 188 people
The death toll is expected to climb and many residents are on the streets in the capital Caracas and surrounding communities. Venezuelans abroad are desperately trying to contact loved ones.
• Deadly quakes: At least 188 people were killed and more than 1,500 injured by Venezuela’s most powerful earthquake in more than a century, according to the country’s National Assembly president. The 7.5 magnitude quake struck 39 seconds after a 7.2 magnitude foreshock. Track what we know in maps and charts.
• Capital in crisis: A resident who survived a quake that hit Caracas in 1967 said the disaster was unlike anything he had experienced. Another resident who escaped a damaged building said “the scene was like a horror movie.”
• Rescue effort underway: Many people are missing or still trapped beneath rubble, officials said. Meanwhile, millions of Venezuelans living abroad are scrambling to contact loved ones. The US sent rescue teams and other resources, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who also said the country’s main airport is “badly damaged.”
• Economic blow: The disaster comes at a dire time for Venezuela, which is deep in a political and financial crisis.
