Al Jazeera Arabic, Le Monde, and CNA report the death toll and immediate humanitarian response. Le Monde notes foreign rescue teams withdrawing after finding no signs of life two weeks post-earthquake, focusing on the logistical transition from rescue to recovery, including Caracas airport reopening.

Folha de S.Paulo integrates diaspora community action, reporting Brazilian teams searching for missing persons and concluding their efforts at a bakery, weaving personal consequence into systemic institutional analysis. This contrasts with Le Monde's emphasis on elite governance logistics and airport reopening timelines.
