Venezuela Earthquakes Force a Grim Homecoming for Migrants
Key Points:
- Angelina, a 16-year-old girl in Venezuela, regularly communicated with her mother Liliana Figueroa, who had migrated to Brazil, through casual WhatsApp videos and messages.
- On June 24, Angelina sent a routine video of her dinner at 5:30 p.m., but then unexpectedly stopped responding to messages.
- After earthquakes struck Angelina’s town, her mother grew concerned and sent urgent texts around midnight, pleading to know her daughter's whereabouts.
- The sudden silence following the natural disaster raised alarm for Liliana, highlighting the distress caused by the lack of communication amid the crisis.
