Axios: Cluster of quakes. Venezuela so rich in resources without the infrastructure to extract. This earthquake has destroyed the lives of so many who live in poverty because politics is so derisive. Hope the charity/NGO sector can get the help needed to Venezuela as soon as possible. There are people buried beneath buildings … they need to be saved.

There’s no evidence that the rest of the quakes are directly related.Get the latest.
