Hundreds of residents in Caracas and surrounding areas spent the night sleeping in public squares, parked vehicles, and open spaces after two powerful earthquakes struck northern Venezuela.
Fearing strong aftershocks, many families chose not to return to their homes as emergency crews continued assessing widespread structural damage caused by the twin quakes.
The powerful earthquakes damaged buildings, disrupted services, and left thousands of people displaced across affected communities.
Residents described scenes of panic as the tremors shook homes and buildings, forcing many to flee into the streets seeking safety.
Authorities have deployed emergency response teams to inspect damaged structures, assist affected families, and coordinate rescue operations in the hardest-hit areas.
Relief efforts are also underway, with local authorities and humanitarian organizations providing temporary shelter, food, medical assistance, and other essential support to those impacted by the disaster.
Officials continue to monitor the situation closely while warning residents to remain cautious due to the possibility of further aftershocks.
As rescue and recovery operations continue, communities across Venezuela are coming together to support those affected while emergency teams work to restore normalcy in the wake of the devastating earthquakes.
