"Tragedy Strikes: Dozens Buried in Venezuela Gold Mine Collapse"
A collapse at an open pit mine in central Venezuela has reportedly left dozens of workers trapped under mud, with conflicting reports on the number of casualties. While local officials suggested at least 30 people were killed and around 100 more buried, national authorities have not confirmed this toll. The mine, located in the town of La Paragua, is said to have collapsed, leaving workers and others racing to help those injured or trapped. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of unsanctioned mining operations in the region, with human rights groups previously highlighting the issue of child labor in Venezuela's open gold mines.
