Two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela's northern regions on Wednesday night, with the second being the strongest to hit the country in over a century, causing casualties and widespread damage.

Plan International warns that the psychological toll of Venezuela's earthquakes on children could persist for years, urging authorities to place young people at the center of disaster response efforts.

A series of powerful earthquakes has killed approximately 235 people in Venezuela, according to the country's health minister, compounding an already severe humanitarian crisis in the struggling nation.
