The United States military has completed emergency repairs to reopen Venezuela’s La Guaira port, a vital logistics hub severely damaged by twin earthquakes earlier this week.
The facility, located in the hardest-hit area of the disaster zone, is now operational for aid distribution and commercial traffic, marking a significant milestone in the recovery effort.
Burials for more than 1,700 victims have also begun across the country as authorities manage the aftermath of the seismic events.
The reopening of La Guaira is a critical development for regional shipping and energy markets.
As one of Venezuela’s primary gateways for imports and exports, the port’s closure had created immediate bottlenecks for humanitarian aid and commercial goods.
Its restoration helps alleviate pressure on alternative routes and reduces the risk of prolonged supply chain disruptions in the Caribbean basin.
