The death toll from two devastating earthquakes in Venezuela has risen to nearly 1,500. Local and foreign rescue workers are still working day and night to rescue people trapped under the rubble. The few survivors who have been rescued have given hope to their relatives.
\nThe hardest-hit coastal state of La Guaira, about 40 kilometers north of the capital Caracas, has been the hardest hit. Hundreds of buildings have collapsed there. Authorities say 774 buildings have completely collapsed so far.
\nInterim President Delcy Rodriguez has said that rescue operations will continue. Since there is still a chance of rescuing survivors, the operation is not being stopped. The government has set up a special commission to determine whether the damaged buildings are habitable. It has also been announced that educational institutions in La Guaira will remain closed for another week.
\nAccording to official estimates, 3,150 people have been injured so far. 12,721 people have been displaced. At least 33 people had been rescued alive as of Saturday evening. Rescue workers pulled a father and his son alive from under a collapsed building on Sunday. Meanwhile, an opposition-backed website claimed that around 50,000 people were still missing. The rescue operation was made more difficult by the ongoing aftershocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
