· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
One week after two devastating earthquakes struck northern Venezuela, rescue efforts continue as hundreds of Venezuelans and international rescuers search for survivors. The first quake, measuring 7.2, occurred on June 24 at 6:04 PM, followed by a 7.5 magnitude quake just 39 seconds later. While both epicenters were in Yaracuy state, La Guaira and Caracas were the hardest hit. The government reports nearly 2,000 dead, over 10,571 injured, and around 50,000 missing. Hospitals are overwhelmed, with many patients requiring amputations. Thousands are left homeless, and NASA estimates damage to around 60,000 structures.
