In the last 24 hours alone, about 50 more victims have been confirmed, more than three weeks after the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 quakes, which caused massive destruction, mainly in the north of the country and in the coastal state of La Guaira, near the capital Caracas.

According to parliament president Jorge Rodríguez, the number of injured remains at 16,740, while authorities have not yet published an official figure for missing persons.

A day after the disaster, the United Nations estimated the number of missing could reach up to 50,000, while other estimates place this figure at around 10,000 people.

Search and rescue operations continue in the hardest-hit areas, especially in La Guaira, where emergency teams are working to pull victims and survivors from the rubble of collapsed buildings.

According to authorities, 17,907 people have been left homeless, while another 21,470 have been accommodated in 107 temporary camps set up to cope with the emergency situation.

Official data show that more than 850 buildings have suffered damage, with 190 of them completely collapsed.

Authorities are continuing emergency operations and damage assessment, while the death toll is expected to change as searches in the destroyed areas have not yet been completed.

Gjorgjievski stressed that Skopje knows very well the pain left behind by a devastating earthquake, as such a wound remains deeply embedded in the city’s history.

According to him, it is precisely from this experience that the strongest message emerges: in the hardest moments, humanity must be heard more than ever. He recalled that after the catastrophic earthquake of 1963, Skopje was not left alone, as aid came from all over the world and people from different continents contributed to helping the city rise again from the ruins.

Among the first countries to stand by Skopje with help and solidarity, he added, was Venezuela as well, a support the city has not forgotten.

For this reason, now that the people of Venezuela are facing the consequences of the earthquake, the City of Skopje is responding with humanity, respect and support, Gjorgjievski said.

He also expressed condolences to the families of the victims, while wishing the injured a speedy recovery.

“Our thoughts are with all the citizens going through these difficult moments. Skopje was rebuilt through the solidarity of the world, among them Venezuela. That is why Skopje is a global city today,” Gjorgjievski wrote./Telegrafi/

Qyteti i Shkupit do të japë 1.200.000 denarë si mbështetje financiare për përballimin e pasojave të tërmetit në Venezuelë, bëri të ditur kryetari i Qytetit të Shkupit, Orce Gjorgievski.

Gjorgievski theksoi se Shkupi e njeh shumë mirë dhimbjen që lë pas një tërmet shkatërrues, pasi një plagë e tillë mbetet thellë e ngulitur në historinë e qytetit.

Sipas tij, pikërisht nga kjo përvojë vjen edhe mesazhi më i fortë: në çastet më të rënda, njerëzimi duhet të dëgjohet më shumë se kurrë. Ai kujtoi se pas tërmetit katastrofik të vitit 1963, Shkupi nuk mbeti i vetëm, pasi ndihma erdhi nga e gjithë bota dhe njerëz nga kontinente të ndryshme kontribuuan që qyteti të ngrihej sërish nga rrënojat.

Mes vendeve të para që i dolën në krah Shkupit me ndihmë dhe solidaritet, shtoi ai, ishte edhe Venezuela, një mbështetje që qyteti nuk e ka harruar.

Për këtë arsye, tani që populli i Venezuelës po përballet me pasojat e tërmetit, Qyteti i Shkupit po reagon me humanizëm, respekt dhe mbështetje, u shpreh Gjorgievski.

Ai përcolli gjithashtu ngushëllime për familjet e viktimave, ndërsa të plagosurve u uroi shërim sa më të shpejtë.

“Mendimet tona janë me të gjithë qytetarët që po kalojnë këto momente të vështira. Shkupi u ndërtua nga solidariteti i botës, ndër të cilët ishte edhe Venezuela. Kjo është arsyeja pse Shkupi është një qytet botëror sot”, shkroi Gjorgjievski./Telegrafi/

Mesfushori i Real Madridit kontribuoi që “Tre Luanët” të siguronin kalimin në 1/8-tën e finales, ku do të përballen me Meksikën, por një nga çastet që mbeti më shumë në mendje erdhi pas përfundimit të ndeshjes.

Teksa po kalonte nëpër “zonën miks”, Bellingham po bëhej gati të largohej, kur dëgjoi një gazetar të përmendte Venezuelën.

23-vjeçari reagoi menjëherë, ndaloi, u kthye dhe përcolli një mesazh të ngrohtë: “Shumë dashuri dhe mbështetje për të gjithë në Venezuelë”.

Ky reagim erdhi në një moment kur Venezuela ishte goditur nga një tërmet shkatërrues, ngjarje që solli solidaritet të madh edhe nga bota e sportit.

Megjithëse zgjati vetëm pak sekonda, veprimi i Bellingham u përhap me shpejtësi në rrjet, ndërsa shumë tifozë vlerësuan yllin e Anglisë për faktin se gjeti kohë të përshëndeste të prekurit, pavarësisht nxitimit pas sfidës.

NASA estimates that approximately 58,870 buildings were damaged or destroyed, causing serious problems for housing and infrastructure.

The World Health Organization has also expressed concern about the risk of epidemics spreading, as systems for registering missing persons and victims are inadequate.

The many problems in the healthcare system, water and sewage networks, combined with the forced displacement of populations, could encourage outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, diphtheria and whooping cough.

Media reports say that the World Food Programme is seeking $50 million in aid, while the international community has mobilized by sending 40 rescue teams, and the United States announced financial assistance of $300 million.

The rescue operation took place in the coastal state of La Guaira and was seen as a moment of hope for the international teams continuing the search for other survivors.

The two survivors were transported on improvised stretchers to an ambulance. Both were in serious health condition, but managed to survive.

According to the authorities, the rescue was made possible after twelve hours of intensive work. Teams used special search cameras, technological equipment and specialized tools to penetrate the unstable structures without endangering the lives of those trapped.

The earthquakes that struck Venezuela last Wednesday have caused at least 1,450 victims, while thousands of people are still reported missing.

During the weekend alone, at least 33 people were rescued, but authorities warn that hopes of finding survivors diminish significantly after 72 hours following an earthquake.

However, the rescue of the father and son four days after the catastrophe has restored optimism among search-and-rescue teams and families still waiting for news of their loved ones.

“The smell is a sign that there are still bodies under the rubble,” the human rights organization Provea wrote on platform X over the weekend. The official death toll so far stands at 1,450, according to the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez. Around 3,200 people have been injured.

Tens of thousands of people are still listed as missing. About 30,000 Venezuelan emergency workers and 2,700 rescue experts from 24 countries have been deployed.

“Today we rescued survivors, therefore the rescue operations will not be called off,” acting President Delcy Rodríguez said on Sunday. According to experts, the chances of survival for those buried under rubble drop significantly after 72 hours — that is, three days.

Nevertheless, after 86 hours, international teams rescued a 60-year-old woman in Caraballeda, La Guaira, as El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele reported on X.

The government is checking whether buildings are habitable

According to the latest damage assessment, approximately 780 residential buildings and 38 hospitals were destroyed or severely damaged. Shopping centers and other public buildings also collapsed — a total of around 2,500 residential buildings and other facilities. At least 430 aftershocks were recorded following the earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale on Wednesday early evening (local time).

More than 70,000 families need humanitarian aid after the catastrophe. Many people are sleeping outside or in emergency shelters. The presidency has set up a special commission to assess the extent of the damage and the habitability of buildings, as President Rodríguez announced.

Desperate search by relatives

According to an unofficial platform for tracing missing persons, more than 47,000 people are currently considered missing — after nearly 79,000 missing-person reports were filed. However, these figures cannot be independently verified. People are also searching for the names of their relatives on lists of survivors, such as those in emergency shelters.

Venezuela was already in a difficult situation before the earthquakes. For years, the country has suffered from political tensions, economic problems, and one of the world’s biggest migration crises. In January, Washington carried out a military operation in the country, capturing authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro. The current president had been vice president in Maduro’s government.

In recent days, the acting president has faced growing criticism. After being booed during a tour of the capital, Caracas, on Friday, she was criticized on social media on Sunday over a ceremonial meeting with international rescue teams. “Every second matters. Every second. Yet Delcy Rodríguez’s government is preventing rescue workers from doing their job for a political stunt,” government critic and journalist Orlando Avendaño wrote on X.

Nobel Peace Prize winner wants to return to her homeland

Meanwhile, opposition politician María Corina Machado announced that she intends to return to her homeland because of the earthquakes. “Absolutely, the time has come,” she told Fox News. However, according to a report in the New York Times, the US government considers such a swift return inappropriate.

Last December, the politician, who had been living in hiding, secretly left Venezuela to personally accept the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. Shortly afterward, while she was abroad, President Maduro was captured. Washington is now working closely with acting President Delcy Rodríguez. / Der Standard.

The child, named Moises, was found trapped under the debris and rescued after a lengthy operation by search-and-rescue teams.

In the video released by Venezuela’s interim president, Delsy Rodríguez, rescuers can be seen carrying the 11-year-old on a stretcher after he had spent more than 70 hours beneath the rubble.

“A few minutes ago, an 11-year-old boy was rescued in Karabageda. At this moment, every life saved is a source of hope for Venezuela,” Rodríguez wrote in a post on the X platform, accompanying the message with footage of the rescue operation.

Among those taking part in the operation were members of the specialized USAR Colombia 1 team, as well as firefighters from Bogota, who are in Venezuela to assist in search-and-rescue operations.

Meanwhile, search-and-rescue operations continue without interruption in the areas affected by the earthquakes, as authorities hope that, despite the passing days, survivors may still be found beneath the rubble.

According to the latest official toll, at least 1,430 people have lost their lives, while another 3,238 were injured by the two powerful earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude, which struck Venezuela just seconds apart on Wednesday.

Authorities fear that the death toll will rise significantly, as more than 50 thousand people are still listed as missing.

The damage caused by the two earthquakes is estimated at around 7 billion dollars, an amount representing approximately 6% of Venezuela’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), according to an assessment published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The UNDP’s preliminary assessment, carried out in the first hours after the disaster, is based mainly on satellite images and demographic data.

However, the organization clarifies that this estimate does not include infrastructure damage, the full economic consequences, or the long-term cost of reconstruction, stressing that the real impact of the disaster could be up to three times greater.
