Last update: 4 hours agoDisaster Response: Venezuela’s twin earthquakes have pushed the death toll to 929, with 51,000 still missing, as rescuers race against the shrinking 48–72 hour survival window and authorities tighten access to La Guaira, where volunteers are still digging by hand amid shortages of heavy equipment.

International Aid & Logistics: The U.S. is deploying military transport and search teams, while EU rescue units and other foreign crews are arriving; India’s Operation Amistad is sending a 41-member medical team with modular field-hospital “BHISHM Cubes” and 35+ tonnes of supplies. Industry & Energy Angle: With relief underway, attention is also turning to how the quake shock could affect critical infrastructure and fuel distribution, including PDVSA’s role in keeping supplies moving. Connectivity Boost: Qatar Airways says it will launch a Doha–Caracas–Bogotá triangular route from July 22, positioning Caracas as a Gulf carrier gateway for onward travel and aid movement.
