Venezuela says 1,600 members of foreign rescue teams have arrived to help search for survivors following twin earthquakes earlier this week. Multiple outlets report the teams arrive by air as Venezuela’s government coordinates rescue and recovery operations, including flights carrying additional personnel expected in the following day. One report states that the foreign teams arrive on 17 flights, with further flights scheduled. Venezuela also intensifies its domestic response, including tightening access to the worst-affected state, according to one outlet. Another source says Venezuela deploys large numbers of security forces and that additional countries join the rescue effort, with more nations expected to contribute. The earthquakes cause widespread disruption, with sources citing large numbers of people missing and significant casualties. While reported figures vary by outlet, the overall focus is on urgent search-and-rescue work as rescuers race to locate survivors, distribute aid, and support emergency services in affected areas such as La Guaira.
