en.malanginspirasi.com – From a U.S. detention facility, Venezuela’s ousted leader Nicolás Maduro has urged his nation to face the aftermath of two devastating earthquakes with “faith, love, and hope.”
Maduro is currently in New York awaiting trial on federal “narco-terrorism” charges following a dramatic U.S. military raid in Caracas earlier this year.
In a message shared on his official X account, Maduro noted that while Venezuela has historically endured “moments of destruction and moments of rebirth,” these latest quakes rank among “the most painful ever experienced in our land.”
Despite the tragedy, he insisted the country “will rise again” and offered praise for both the victims and first responders.

On January 3, U.S. forces executed a raid authorized by U.S. President Donald Trump, seizing Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in Caracas.
The couple was immediately flown to New York to face extensive drug and weapons trafficking charges, all of which they vehemently deny.
Following Maduro’s capture, Venezuela’s National Assembly swiftly swore in Vice President Delcy Rodríguez as the country’s interim president.
Venezuela Death Toll Tops 1,450 as Rescue Efforts Enter “Critical Hours”
The humanitarian crisis in Venezuela is deepening, with the official death toll from the recent twin earthquakes now climbing to at least 1,450 people.
Top lawmaker Jorge Rodríguez warned that the nation has entered critical hours where every second counts to save remaining survivors.
With tens of thousands of people still unaccounted for, officials fully expect the casualty numbers to rise significantly.
Amidst the devastation, a few remarkable survival stories emerged over the weekend.
Earlier today, rescue crews successfully pulled a father and his teenage son alive from the rubble.
Despite these breakthroughs, the outlook is growing grim as nearly 96 hours have passed since the disaster struck.
A firefighter deployed in La Guaira reported that dozens of collapsed buildings have still not been touched by search-and-rescue teams.
As the critical window for survival closes, local communities are growing increasingly angry at the pace of the government’s relief efforts.
