Aftershock hits Caracas as rescue efforts enter critical hours in Venezuela

An aftershock measuring 4.6 magnitude struck north of Caracas, Venezuela, just as rescue operations for those affected by previous quakes were reaching a crucial stage. This new tremor, reported by the U.S. Geological Survey, adds to the already precarious situation in the region. The timing is particularly concerning as emergency services are stretched thin, and the aftershock could further destabilize buildings already weakened by earlier quakes. The situation underscores the ongoing vulnerability of the area and the urgent need for sustained support and resources.
