A pair of teenage brothers who lost their mother and other family members in Venezuela and were profiled by The New York Times have now survived deadly quakes in two countries. The brothers, 15 and 17, had fled violence and hunger in Venezuela, only to be uprooted again by a powerful earthquake in Colombia that destroyed their temporary home. They had previously endured a major quake in Venezuela years ago.

The recent 6.1-magnitude tremor struck near the Colombian town of Cúcuta, where the brothers had found refuge. The quake collapsed more than 50 houses and left hundreds homeless. The brothers now face an uncertain future, struggling to find shelter and food, while authorities in Colombia and Venezuela scramble to respond to the disaster.

Their story highlights the compounding crises facing migrants in the region.
