Earthquake leaves thousands homeless as rescue and relief efforts strain in Caracas

In Caracas, survivors of the earthquake continue to pick through destroyed neighbourhoods, searching for what remains of their homes and belongings.

For many, entire lives have been erased in seconds, leaving families dependent on relatives, volunteers, and overcrowded shelters for survival.

Temporary camps across the city are now filled with displaced residents sleeping in tents, with limited access to food, water, and basic services. Many say they are too afraid to return to damaged buildings still deemed unsafe.

Hospitals in affected regions are also under intense pressure, receiving a steady flow of injured patients from the hardest-hit coastal areas. Medical teams and volunteers are working around the clock to manage admissions and distribute supplies.

Authorities say rescue and recovery operations remain ongoing, but with thousands still missing and widespread destruction, the humanitarian crisis is far from over.
