Two major earthquakes — magnitudes 7.5 and 7.2 — struck Venezuela on June 24-25, 2026, killing at least 188-235 people with over 1,500 injured and thousands still missing. Rescue teams from the US and other countries are actively searching the collapsed northern coast for survivors as authorities fear the death toll could eventually reach into the thousands. The earthquakes are among the strongest to hit Venezuela in over a century and have left roughly 7.9 million people already in need of humanitarian assistance in even more dire circumstances.
