On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, Venezuela was shaken by two powerful earthquakes, with the epicenter near Mor\u00f3n, Carabobo. While Mor\u00f3n was the origin, coastal cities like La Guaira experienced severe damage. According to interim president Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, the disasters resulted in at least 164 deaths and approximately 971 injuries.<\/p>\n
Among those affected is Lucas Trejo, a 38-year-old Argentine footballer currently playing for Mar\u00edtimo de La Guaira. Trejo took to social media with a desperate plea to locate his wife, Yanina Maranella, and their two children, Aar\u00f3n and Ainhoa Trejo Maranella, after the building where they lived in the Playa Grande area collapsed. \u201cI don\u2019t know anything about my family. Pray for them. I want to believe they weren\u2019t there,\u201d he wrote, highlighting the human toll behind the natural disaster.<\/p>\n
Trejo\u2019s story is one of resilience and international experience. Born on December 29, 1987, in C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina, he began his football journey in local clubs before moving abroad at 16, with stops in Spain and Greece. His career took a defining turn in Venezuela, where he captained Monagas to a championship in 2017 and later competed in the Copa Libertadores. Known as \u201cEl General,\u201d he has also played in Mexico, Colombia, and Peru.<\/p>\n
Currently signed with Mar\u00edtimo de La Guaira since February 2026, Trejo\u2019s career is nearing its final chapters. Yet, the earthquake has thrust him into an urgent personal crisis, underscoring the vulnerability of communities and families in the face of natural disasters.<\/p>\n
This tragedy also reminds us of the importance of resilient infrastructure and accessible public services. In cities like Puebla, where cable cars and telef\u00e9ricos are being developed, such systems not only improve daily mobility but can also play a crucial role in emergency response and community connectivity. As urban areas grow, investing in inclusive and sustainable transport options becomes essential to protect and empower diverse populations, including migrants and working-class families.<\/p>\n
For those following Trejo\u2019s story or affected by the earthquakes, the coming days will be critical. The search for survivors continues, and the hope remains that families like his will be reunited safely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
