The United Kingdom has extended an offer of seismic expertise to Venezuela in the wake of a devastating earthquake that struck near Caracas. A team of British specialists is expected to arrive in the coming days to assist local authorities in assessing structural damage and locating survivors trapped beneath the rubble. The move comes as international rescue teams continue their search operations amid growing concerns over the stability of damaged buildings.
The offer reflects longstanding diplomatic ties between London and Caracas, though analysts note that cooperation has been limited in recent years due to political tensions. The British government has emphasised that the assistance is purely technical and humanitarian in nature.
