Israel is preparing to dispatch an aid mission to earthquake-stricken Venezuela. Exclusive footage from the disaster zone, reported by The Zioneer, shows the moment of the quake: "The building shook and shook." The mission follows Foreign Minister Sa'ar's directive earlier Thursday.
Israel is gearing up to send a humanitarian aid mission to Venezuela after the devastating earthquake that struck the country Thursday. The Foreign Ministry, acting on a directive by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar issued earlier in the day, is conducting a situation assessment with relevant bodies to determine the scope of assistance.
Exclusive footage from the disaster zone, published by The Zioneer, captures the panic as the quake hit: witnesses describe the building shaking violently. The footage is among the first from the affected area, providing a raw look at the destruction.
The move follows a broader international response. Earlier Thursday, US President Donald Trump said the US is ready to aid Venezuela, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent condolences. Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez confirmed that foreign search-and-rescue teams are already en route. The Zioneer previously reported on Sa'ar's initial directive and the international pledges, but today's footage adds a visual dimension to the unfolding disaster.
