The United States has deployed more than 900 military personnel to support earthquake relief operations in Venezuela following the devastating twin earthquakes that struck the country on June 24.

Working alongside Venezuela's interim authorities, U.S. forces are assisting with search-and-rescue efforts, logistics and humanitarian aid distribution as recovery operations continue.

According to interim officials, the disaster has claimed more than 1,700 lives and left approximately 58,000 people missing as of June 30.

The U.S. military has transported personnel, emergency equipment and relief supplies using Air Force C-17 and C-130 cargo aircraft, while the USS Fort Lauderdale has docked at the port of La Guaira to support ongoing operations. Washington has committed more than $300 million in humanitarian assistance.

Military engineers have also repaired and reopened Caracas' airport to facilitate the arrival of international aid.

U.S. Southern Command said search-and-rescue teams are using advanced technologies, including MQ-9 Reaper drones and satellite imagery provided by the U.S. Space Force, to locate survivors and assess damage.

Officials said coordinated logistics remain central to delivering assistance efficiently as relief operations continue across the hardest-hit areas.
