Just three days after Colombia’s new President Abelardo De la Espriella was sworn into office, an earthquake measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale struck the western part of the country. The quake was felt particularly strongly in the regions of Chocó, Caldás, Risaralda, and Valle del Cauca, among others, and was so powerful that it was even felt in neighboring Panama and Ecuador. So far, authorities have reported the deaths of 280 people, a figure that is rising steadily as the hours pass, especially considering that anywhere between 2,000 and 4,200 people are currently reported missing (the total number of missing varies according to different entities). In addition, more than 1,300 people have been injured, some seriously.

My name is Vanessa Pérez. I’m the spokesperson for the Cinco Fortalezas Commune and National Spokesperson for the Communard Union (Unión Comunera). On June 24, Venezuela experienced two earthquakes. That day was the anniversary of the Battle of Carabobo, a non-working day. We were at home resting when the earthquakes struck. Now we are living through a difficult, painful moment of human and material losses: many people have been affected and many structures have collapsed. Our people moved quickly to help. Many residents took to the streets without formal rescue training, but they offered their support.

July 6, 2026 Kit Klarenberg, Scheer Post. Educate! Disaster Recovery, Earthquake, Syria, Venezuela, White Helmets

On June 27th, a plane ferrying a “specialized” team of “highly trained search and rescue specialists” flew into Venezuela from Damascus. Dispatched at putative Syrian leader Ahmad al-Sharaa’s direct order, the 15-strong group is assisting disaster efforts launched by Caracas in response to devastating twin earthquakes. Among them are members of the notorious White Helmets. A bogus humanitarian group constructed by MI6, they played a central role in Britain’s protracted coup of Bashar Assad. Are the White Helmets similarly in Venezuela to assist regime change?

Four days ago, on the 24th of June, a national holiday jointly celebrating St. John the Baptist Day and the key Battle of Carabobo that secured the nation’s Independence, Venezuela was struck by twin earthquakes, 39 seconds from each other, one of 7.2 on the Richter scale and the second of greater intensity, of 7.5. The fault lines run through the northwestern valley of the capital Caracas and all along the coast, north of Caracas past the mountains. There was also damage in areas of the interior of the country. Experts call it a doublet. The devastation was unbelievable. Nothing like this has ever happened in South America and it was the strongest earthquake to hit Venezuela in over a century.
