The US has eased additional sanctions on Venezuela to facilitate financial transactions related to earthquake relief after two powerful earthquakes struck the country on June 24, leaving at least 589 people dead, around 3,000 injured, and thousands still missing. Washington also pledged US$150 million in humanitarian assistance through non-profit organizations. While energy infrastructure was largely unaffected, international rescue teams have joined ongoing search and recovery efforts in the hardest-hit areas.
