Venezuela Earthquake Death Toll Rises To 1,450
7 hours ago
Rescue crews continue searching for survivors four days after two powerful earthquakes devastated northern Venezuela, killing at least 1,450 people and leaving thousands more missing.
Local and international emergency teams are racing against time to pull people from collapsed buildings, even as hopes of finding additional survivors fade with each passing day.
The disaster has triggered growing criticism of the Venezuelan government's response, with many residents saying civilian volunteers have led much of the search-and-rescue effort.
Officials warn the death toll is expected to rise as crews continue recovering victims and assessing damage across the hardest-hit communities.
