Four days have passed since the June 24th deadly double earthquakes hit Venezuela, and tens of thousands are still believed to be missing.

On Sunday, Pope Leo XIV expressed solidarity with those affected by the deadly earthquakes.

Speaking in Spanish instead of Italian, the Pope prayed for all those who were affected, saying, “As I pray to the Lord for the eternal rest of the deceased, I renew my spiritual solidarity with the families of the injured and with all those who have been struck by this tragedy,”.
