Venezuela Earthquake Death Toll Climbs Past 900 as International Aid Mobilizes

CARACAS — The confirmed death toll from Venezuela’s catastrophic back-to-back earthquakes has jumped to 920 people as emergency crews dig through the rubble of collapsed buildings and buckled infrastructure across the hardest-hit regions. The twin shocks, measuring 7.1 and 7.5 in magnitude, have knocked out localized power grids, suspended public transit, and forced the closure of Caracas airport to all non-emergency traffic. International search-and-rescue teams, alongside critical relief shipments from global partners including India, are arriving on the ground to assist local authorities in what is already being labeled the nation’s most severe seismic crisis in over a century.
