destruction.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of the

On the evening of June 24, 2026, two powerful
back-to-back earthquakes struck western Venezuela near the state of
Yaracuy. The quakes caused significant destruction in Caracas, La
Guaira, and surrounding areas, with buildings collapsing,
infrastructure damage, and widespread panic.
According to Venezuelan authorities, at least 32
people have been killed and more than 700 injured, though the toll
is expected to rise as rescue operations continue.
