Ravaged by twin earthquakes that have left at least 235 dead, Venezuela is racing to search for survivors. The quakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5, struck northern Venezuela within less than a minute of each other on Wednesday night.
Multiple countries, including the US, Iran, India, Spain, and France, have offered help, sending aid, rescuers, and other support. However, the earthquakes have severely damaged Venezuela's main airport in Caracas, hampering aid efforts.
The US is mobilizing $150 million in aid, deploying two warships, transport planes, and helicopters. China has expressed willingness to provide help, while European countries, including Spain, Italy, and France, have offered support and solidarity.
Iran's foreign minister has expressed solidarity with Venezuela and offered full assistance. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also offered support, saying he was 'deeply saddened' by the devastation.
Rescue efforts are ongoing, with powerful aftershocks still being felt. The death toll has risen from 188 to at least 235, with over 1,500 people injured.
