Mexico’s international search-and-rescue brigade, Topos Azteca, is traveling to Venezuela to help respond to the aftermath of two major earthquakes. Multiple sources report that volunteers from Brigada Internacional de Rescate Topos Azteca, described as Mexico’s long-standing rescue brigade, depart for the affected areas following widespread damage and casualties. One outlet identifies a volunteer, Germán Bello, as part of the team. The reports also note that the death toll has risen since the earthquakes, with figures in the sources differing as updates come in. One source states the toll has passed 1,900, while another reports it has topped 2,200. Both accounts frame the deployment as international humanitarian assistance aimed at supporting local efforts, including search and rescue activities.
