Summary
Free service through July 25 will be extended to new and existing Starlink customers in Venezuela, with credits also offered to former users so they can reconnect after the disaster.
Additional Starlink terminals are being deployed to the hardest-hit areas to restore communications after twin 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck near Venezuela’s Caribbean coast.
At least 235 people have been killed, rescue teams are still searching collapsed buildings, and officials said one Italian and one Portuguese citizen were among the dead.
Damage to La Guaira airport — a key entry point for emergency aid — has shut the hub and complicated the movement of rescue teams and supplies, raising fears of a broader humanitarian crisis.
