The day was dominated by the escalating aftermath of Venezuela's twin earthquakes. The death toll rose from 188 to 920, with injured surpassing 3,300. Spanish casualties increased from two to five dead, with 14 trapped and 119 missing. The UN estimated 50,000 disappeared. Editorial focus remained fixed on the humanitarian crisis, with outlets updating figures throughout the day. Reports highlighted the lack of official rescue efforts, survivors digging with bare hands, and the militarization of the 'ground zero' zone. Secondary stories included the UCO detecting favoritism in contracts awarded to Barrabés, and the judge offering Hacienda to join the Zapatero jewels investigation. Political developments, such as the Sumar leadership race and the anti-corruption plan approval, received minimal attention.
