New Footage Reveals the Moment a Powerful Quake Hit Venezuela, footage as death toll could exceed 10,000

The northern coastline of Venezuela has been hit by a serious seismic disaster after two powerful earthquakes struck within a very short time of each other. The tremors, recorded at magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, were felt across large parts of the country, including the capital city Caracas and surrounding coastal regions.

The rapid succession of the earthquakes increased the level of destruction and left many residents with very little time to react or seek safety. The epicenters were reported near the Caribbean coastal region, close to the state of La Guaira and west of the town of Morón.
