Llevamos 28 horas tratando de rescatar de los escombros a Hernán Alberto Gil Flores, de 44 años, quien permanece atrapado en el centro comercial Galerías Playa Grande.
Equipos de varios países nos están ayudando a lograrlo, ya que la complejidad de la estructura, su inestabilidad, las lluvias de ayer y las réplicas han hecho de este uno de los rescates más difíciles que hemos enfrentado.
Sin embargo, a pesar de todas estas dificultades, Hernán continúa respondiendo y hemos logrado mantenerlo hidratado, por lo que tenemos la esperanza de que este rescate será un éxito.
Con la ayuda de Dios, lo lograremos.
Logistics surge to assist earthquake relief:
#SOUTHCOM deployed a @USMC Combat Logistics Company that has brought medium-sized military transport trucks, highly mobile off-road vehicles, and military ambulance capabilities to Venezuela. Their mission is to build capacity and further accelerate the movement of critical supplies and equipment.
#SOUTHCOM is supporting @StateDept-led U.S. government relief operations following the devastating earthquakes that struck the nation on June 24, 2026.

I just received a briefing from U.S. Southern Command on the ongoing efforts in Venezuela.
Thank you to our brave servicemen and women and other rescue crews supporting relief and recovery efforts on the ground.
It is critical that all humanitarian aid and resources remain under U.S. oversight. NOT ONE DIME should go to Delcy Rodríguez, Diosdado Cabello, or any part of their brutal and corrupt regime.
The Maduro regime, now led by Delcy, cannot be trusted with a single dollar intended for the Venezuelan people.
@usembassyve@DeiviDMilano@Franklin_Graham@SamaritansPurse Gracias!!! Los venezolanos sensatos y de bien Seguimos confiando en ustedes. No Se dejen sabotear por matrices de opinión pagadas por politiqueros venezolanos que no aportan nada.
UPDATE: The situation in Venezuela is horrific. The country was hit by a catastrophic double-earthquake.
First, a violent 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck the area, followed just 40 seconds later by an even more powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake.
At this difficult time, President Trump has confirmed that he instructed all government agencies to move quickly and help the people of Venezuela.
Prayers for the people of Venezuela🤲

U.S. military rotary-wing aircraft have proven to be lifelines during multiple disaster relief missions. #SOUTHCOM is sending rotary-wing aircraft to support @StateDept-led U.S. government earthquake relief operations in Venezuela.
These aircraft will provide critical life-saving airlift support, transporting U.S. government response personnel, search and rescue teams, and partners during relief operations.

The U.S. is mobilizing immediate, life-saving resources as part of a rapid, government-wide response in the wake of the earthquakes in Venezuela. President Trump immediately authorized the U.S. government to commit significant financial assistance, deploy search and rescue efforts, and collaborate with the interim Venezuelan authorities to address the acute needs of the Venezuelan people.
📍#UnitedStates / #Venezuela (🇺🇸/🇻🇪)
@Southcom Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan has announced the following assets have been mobilized:
- USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD-28)
- USS Billings (LCS-15)
- C-17 Globemaster
- C-130 Hercules
- Reconnaissance Platforms
- Rotary-wing aircraft.
Delivering relief when every second counts:
#SOUTHCOM has directed C-17 Globemaster and C-130 Hercules transport aircraft to support Venezuela earthquake relief efforts and help save lives.
The C-17 provides massive payload capacity capable of delivering aid, equipment and response teams into disaster zones. The C-130 Hercules is the U.S. military's tactical workhorse with a long history of providing critical airlift support in crises to help communities get immediate help.

A éstos 3 malparios' no se les cayó ni un cielo raso, los malandros en La Guaira, Vargas saqueando, ni un rasguño, los militares hibernando en sus bunkers, los politiqueros, haciéndose los solidarios por redes....
Venezuela necesits intervención de EEUU YA!!!
Ya se encuentra en camino el primero de tres aviones que trasladan al personal, equipo e insumos que brindarán ayuda a nuestros hermanos venezolanos.
Que Dios los guíe y los proteja durante esta misión 🇸🇻🇻🇪
The United States stands with the people of Venezuela after yesterday’s devastating earthquakes.
At President Trump’s direction, I immediately mobilized the War Department to work alongside the @StateDept to support the Venezuelan people. Our mission is clear: save lives and rapidly deliver critical aid where it is most needed.
The United States is committed to our hemisphere. When the lives of our friends are on the line, America moves.
Se concreta un nuevo avance bajo el plan de tres fases del Presidente Trump y el Secretario Rubio. El memorando de entendimiento entre GE Vernova y Corpoelec marca un paso importante hacia la estabilización de la red eléctrica de Venezuela y el aumento de la generación de energía a corto plazo, lo que apoyará el empleo, la inversión y la recuperación económica.
Un suministro eléctrico confiable es fundamental para el crecimiento y la prosperidad. Seguimos con Venezuela. #gevernova @GEVernova
Seguimos impulsando la fase de recuperación económica del plan de tres fases del Presidente Trump y el Secretario Rubio. Junto con el Secretario Adjunto Interino del Departamento de @ENERGY, Andrew Rapp, y el Asesor Principal de Política del Consejo Nacional de Dominio Energético (NDEC), Toby Deen, continuamos trabajando intensamente con las autoridades interinas para apoyar la participación de empresas estadounidenses en la recuperación del sector petrolero y gasífero de Venezuela.
Avanzamos en la creación de un entorno propicio para la inversión estadounidense mediante reuniones productivas con altos funcionarios de las autoridades interinas.
On June 16, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. One male narco-terrorists was killed during this action, and there were two male survivors. Following the engagement, USSOUTHCOM immediately notified U.S. Coast Guard to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivors. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear
