One of the runways of the "Simon Bolivar" International Airport in Caracas has been restored to operation, enabling the landing of American C-17 military aircraft carrying humanitarian aid for the areas hit by the devastating earthquakes.
Meanwhile, the death toll from the earthquakes continues to rise. According to the president of the National Assembly of Venezuela, Jorge Rodríguez, at least 1,430 people have lost their lives, while thousands of others have been injured.
Search and rescue operations continue uninterrupted, with teams from various countries working to find survivors and extract victims from the rubble.
The two earthquakes, with magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale, struck northern Venezuela on Wednesday, causing widespread damage to infrastructure. According to authorities, over 50,000 people are still missing, while the humanitarian situation in the affected areas remains extremely severe.
