Rescue efforts are underway in Venezuela after two powerful earthquakes struck the northern state of La Guaira. Local and international teams are working to locate survivors, with their efforts becoming increasingly desperate. The earthquakes occurred four days prior to Sunday, when the rescue efforts were reported.

The government of Venezuela has reported a significant number of fatalities from the quakes. Further details on the situation are available from KPRC 2 and Click2Houston, including the latest updates on the rescue efforts and the number of deaths reported by the Venezuelan government, which exceeded 1,400 as of Saturday.
