Activists Urge US to Lift Venezuela Sanctions Amid Earthquake Devastation

Human rights organizations are urging the United States and other nations to lift sanctions on Venezuela following devastating earthquakes that killed 235 people and injured over 1,000. The Center for Economic and Policy Research warned that sanctions restrict humanitarian aid and financial transactions needed for emergency relief. Venezuela's interim leader called current relief measures insufficient, while CodePink emphasized that economic warfare weakens disaster response capabilities.
