Rescue operations continued in Caracas after two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela on June 24, destroying buildings across the capital. Residents described escaping through cracked walls, thick dust and piles of rubble as families rushed to safety. A preliminary US Geological Survey disaster model warned that the death toll could exceed 10,000, but the figure is a model-based estimate rather than an official count.
