The U.S. military accelerated its efforts to reopen a major Venezuelan port to streamline humanitarian aid after twin earthquakes caused over 1,700 deaths and left tens of thousands missing.

    Marco Rubio
    Republican Party
    1. We have a whole-of-government response. It'll be big; it'll be fast; and it'll be effective.
  2. VE
    María Corina Machado
    Unitary Platform coalition
    1. I am ready and close to Venezuela and will do whatever it takes for us to meet there.
  3. US
    Jeremy Konyndyk
    Refugees International
    1. There was definitely a period last year when they had lost the capability to deploy a search and rescue team in the DOGE destruction of USAID. It was very visible and very embarrassing.
    2. This clearly reflects some lessons that [the administration] learned after the failure to deploy a search and rescue team to Myanmar.
  4. VE
    Cesar Jimenez
    Project HOPE
    1. They're totally collapsed. We saw people laying in the ground with no beds, being assessed by health staff. We saw like 200 people in one tiny healthcare facility seeking help.
  5. VE
    Enrique Larrañaga
    1. They need to give people that have know-how access to information and resources.
    2. It's criminal that the government is not taking up offers from engineers and universities more quickly.
  6. VE
    Richard Casanova
    1. The history of Chavez's public housing is one of corruption and low-quality constructions built without supervision, inspection or adherence to specific codes in many cases.
  7. GB
    Ilan Kelman
    University College London
    1. We have all the knowledge, science and engineering that we need to build in a seismic zone without having a catastrophic disaster following an earthquake.
    2. Not a single building should have collapsed in those earthquakes.
  8. VE
    José Gregorio Rincón Ávila
    1. We have been waiting many days. We already know those bodies have been there for several days since Wednesday, but at least let us take our loved ones home.
