The number of fatalities from the recent dual earthquakes in Venezuela has surpassed 1,400, prompting an expansion of rescue efforts in La Guaira and sections of Caracas. Authorities report that over 1,600 international rescuers have arrived, with more teams anticipated, while access to La Guaira is being limited to ensure emergency routes remain clear. Residents have been forced to sleep outdoors due to ongoing aftershocks, and an opposition-affiliated website indicates that more than 55,000 individuals are currently unaccounted for. The catastrophe is attracting significant global assistance and may influence Venezuela's recovery in the forthcoming days.
