Background: On Wednesday, June 24, two earthquakes — one a magnitude of 7.2 and the other 7.5 — struck in north Venezuela just a minute apart. Buildings crumbled in moments, trapping a yet unknown amount of citizens in rubble. The death toll is expected to be in the thousands. This is Venezuela's worst earthquake disaster in more than a century.
