Severe and persistent heavy rains have caused widespread flooding, landslides, and infrastructure damage across multiple states in Venezuela since late June 2025. The western Andean states of Mérida, Trujillo, Táchira, and Barinas have been among the hardest hit, with rivers and streams overflowing, triggering landslides and collapsing at least 25 bridges, including a major highway bridge on the José Antonio Páez motorway near Ospino. In Mérida, the town of Apartaderos experienced devastating river overflow that destroyed over 100 homes and affected more than 270 families. The floods have displaced over 8,400 people nationwide, with thousands of families forced into temporary shelters. The state of Amazonas has also been severely impacted by the historic rise of the Orinoco River, leading to over 200 families in refuges and 40 municipalities declaring states of emergency, affecting more than 500,000 people. In Táchira, a large landslide measuring approximately 800 meters wide and 1.3 kilometers long buried at least 18 homes in the Fernández Feo municipality, leaving 295 families affected. Overall, the floods have damaged or destroyed nearly 600 homes and caused extensive agricultural losses, with more than 24,000 families affected across Venezuela. The Venezuelan government has activated emergency response plans, including the Andes 2025 plan, to address the ongoing crisis. Meanwhile, in Spain's Catalonia region, torrential rains have led to severe flooding, resulting in two people missing and over 70 injured. The floods disrupted transportation, including temporary suspension of train services, and caused damage to infrastructure and homes in Catalonia, Aragón, and Valencia. Authorities in Catalonia declared the highest weather alert level and continue search and rescue operations for the missing individuals.
