Venezuela Earthquake

Honduras's National Congress unanimously approved sending food, medicine, water, and supplies to Venezuela following devastating earthquakes on June 24 that killed nearly 1,900 people, with lawmakers also committing one day's salary each to fund the assistance.

Gabriela Verónica Fleritt, a Venezuelan actress and comedian who appeared on 'Bienvenidos'—a show rebroadcast on Honduras's Canal 5—was killed on June 24 when powerful earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 struck Venezuela, destroying buildings in Caracas and La Guaira and killing an estimated 1,500 people.
