India offers aid after Venezuela quakes kill 32, injure 700+ on June 25

On June 25, 2026, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India stands ready to assist Venezuela after two powerful earthquakes struck the country on the evening of June 24. The quakes, measuring magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5, hit the same area near Caracas, causing buildings to collapse, killing at least 32 people and injuring over 700, according to the USGS and AFP. Modi said, “Deeply saddened by the devastation caused by the severe earthquakes in Venezuela… We pray for the speedy recovery of those injured and stand in solidarity with all those affected… India stands ready to extend all possible assistance.”

For Nigerians, this event highlights the global humanitarian response to disasters and may affect relatives, friends, or nationals living or working in Venezuela. It also shows India’s role as a donor, which could influence the flow of international aid and create opportunities for Nigerian NGOs or diaspora groups to coordinate relief efforts.
