2025年10月13日, 委内瑞拉El Calao的“Cuatro Esquinas de Caratal”金矿在暴雨造成三条井的洪水和结构故障后, 至少有14人死亡。 At least 14 people died in a mine collapse at the "Cuatro Esquinas de Caratal" gold mine in El Callao, Venezuela, on October 13, 2025, after heavy rains caused flooding and structural failures in three shafts. 该偏远城镇位于加拉加斯东南850公里处,严重依赖采矿业,其30 000名居民大多参与采矿业。 The remote town, about 850 kilometers southeast of Caracas, relies heavily on mining, with most of its 30,000 residents involved in the industry. 由委内瑞拉ZOEDAN机构牵头的搜索和救援工作包括从井口抽水以评估条件。 Search and rescue efforts, led by Venezuela’s ZOEDAN agency, included pumping water from the shafts to assess conditions. 矿工和消防员的证词证实了死亡人数,强调委内瑞拉采矿部门监管不善的危险,尽管该地区矿藏丰富,但那里的不安全条件十分常见。 The death toll was confirmed through testimonies from miners and firefighters, underscoring the dangers of Venezuela’s poorly regulated mining sector, where unsafe conditions are common despite the region’s rich mineral deposits.
