Two major earthquakes with magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5 struck Venezuela near Caracas on June 25-26, 2026, killing at least 188-235 people and injuring thousands, with rescue teams working urgently to locate survivors under collapsed buildings. The death toll varies slightly across outlets (BBC reports 235, NYT reports 32, Al Jazeera and Guardian report 188) reflecting different reporting times and methodologies, though all confirm a significant humanitarian crisis unfolding. Authorities have mobilized rescue teams from across the country to hardest-hit areas like La Guaira, which appears to be bearing the worst damage from the back-to-back quakes that struck seconds apart.
