Caraballeda, Venezuela – A country club in this coastal town has been transformed into an emergency field hospital, serving survivors of recent devastating earthquakes.
Makeshift wards now fill the grounds, where patients are being treated on mattresses placed directly on the grass. The improvised facility is struggling to meet the overwhelming demand for medical care as the injured continue to arrive.
Helicopters carrying vital aid have been seen landing at the site, delivering supplies to the makeshift hospital. For those who have lost their homes, the focus has shifted to basic survival: food, water, and clothing are being distributed to the displaced.
Caraballeda, located in the state of La Guaira, is one of the areas hardest hit by the seismic activity. BBC Mundo's Norberto Paredes reported directly from the site, detailing the scale of the crisis.
