An Israeli woman living near Playa Venado and Nao in Panama has shared videos documenting the destruction caused by a magnitude 7.6 earthquake that struck the southern coast of Panama on Friday. Nurit Goren, who resides in the area, posted footage on her Instagram account showing damaged buildings, collapsed walls and ceilings, and debris scattered across the ground. In one video, she highlighted the impact on the water supply, stating, "The 42-meter deep well is completely mixed, and we have no clean water."
