Venezuela earthquake death toll tops 1,400
A catastrophic series of earthquakes has struck Venezuela, with the death toll climbing past 1,430 and thousands more injured. Rescue teams are racing against time to pull survivors from the rubble as frustration grows among the affected population. Venezuelans abroad, particularly in Colombia, are mobilizing to send aid. The scale of devastation has overwhelmed local emergency services, drawing international attention and offers of assistance.
Violence persists in Gaza despite existing ceasefire agreements, with civilians continuing to bear the brunt. An Israeli attack on a designated 'safe zone' killed a brother and sister. Reports detail the shooting of a father-to-be by Israeli troops on the day his son was born, fueling grief and anger. Many Palestinians say they do not feel safe even in areas supposed to be protected.
The critical window for finding survivors in Venezuela's earthquake rubble is rapidly closing as the death toll surpasses 1,400. Emergency services worked through phone alerts that had warned millions before the tremors hit. Survivors recount harrowing experiences, with many saying they thought they would die. International rescue teams continue to arrive, but time is running out.
