– GDF troops to be deployed to devastated areas in Caracas

The Guyanese Government is organising a massive donation drive to mobilise humanitarian aid for the people of Venezuela following Wednesday’s 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes that have devastated the neighbouring country’s capital.

Based on reports coming out of Caracas on Saturday, at least 1430 person have died, and thousands of others are missing and injured after the twin quakes collapsed houses and other buildings. Speaking at a briefing on Saturday from State House in Georgetown, President Dr Irfaan Ali described the destruction as unimaginable, assuring the Venezuelan people of Guyana’s strong support.
