On June 24, 2026, Venezuela was hit by two powerful earthquakes in a row. These events caused many deaths and the collapse of many buildings, especially in the La Guaira region.

2026年6月24日，委內瑞拉接連遭到兩次強震襲擊。這些事件導致許多人死亡且許多建築物坍塌，尤其是在 La Guaira 地區。

The earthquakes, with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, caused a total failure of essential infrastructure. Official reports state that 856 buildings were damaged and 190 completely collapsed. This has led to a severe humanitarian crisis, with more than 3,300 deaths and approximately 50,000 people missing. The UNDP estimated the physical damage at 6.7 billion USD, which is 6% of the national GDP. Furthermore, this disaster happened while the country was already suffering from economic depression and a failing healthcare system, which was made worse by the destruction of 38 hospitals.

這兩次地震的震級為 7.2 與 7.5，導致基礎設施全面癱瘓。官方報告指出有 856 棟建築物受損，190 棟完全坍塌。這導致了嚴重的人道危機，有超過 3,300 人死亡，約 50,000 人失蹤。聯合國開發計劃署（UNDP）估計物質損失達 67 億美元，佔國家 GDP 的 6%。此外，這場災難發生在該國已飽受經濟蕭條與醫療系統崩潰之際，而 38 間醫院被毀更使情況惡化。

There is a clear disagreement between the government's claims and the reports from the field. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez asserted that the government's response was fast and complete, while she dismissed claims of failure as political misinformation. In contrast, civilians and international observers emphasized a lack of heavy machinery and poor coordination, claiming that some people had to rescue others by hand. Additionally, security forces like SEBIN and DGCIM have been hostile toward the press and international aid workers. Some teams from Spain, Germany, and Chile reportedly faced restrictions or were accused of spying.

政府的說法與現場報告之間存在明顯分歧。代理總統 Delcy Rodríguez 堅稱政府的反應快速且全面，同時將所謂的失敗指控視為政治假訊息。相反，平民與國際觀察員強調缺乏重型機械且協調不力，聲稱有人必須用手救人。此外，如 SEBIN 與 DGCIM 等安全部隊對新聞界與國際救援人員表現敵對。據報，來自西班牙、德國與智利的部分團隊受到限制，甚至被指控為間諜。

Despite these tensions, a group of international search and rescue units from the US, Canada, India, and the UK managed several successful rescues. For example, a security guard was saved after eight days using advanced sound detection technology. These efforts were supported by India's 'Operation Amistad' medical mission. However, the process of recovering bodies has been difficult, and officials expect that mass graves will be necessary because so many victims remain unidentified.

儘管存在這些緊張局勢，來自美國、加拿大、印度與英國的國際搜救隊仍成功救出多人。例如，一名保安在被困八日後，利用先進的聲音偵測技術獲救。這些努力得到了印度「Amistad 行動」醫療任務的支持。然而，搜尋遺體的過程十分困難，官員預計由於有太多受害者身份不明，將有必要開設集體墳墓。

The situation remains critical, as thousands of people are still homeless and the state struggles to repair infrastructure and manage the deceased.

情況依然危急，因為數以千計的人仍無家可歸，且政府在維修基礎設施與處理遺體方面十分艱難。
