The death toll from the devastating twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela earlier this week increased to 1,430, President of the National Assembly of Venezuela Jorge Rodriguez announced on Saturday.
"As of now, we have recorded that 1,430 brothers and sisters have sadly passed away," Rodriguez revealed during a broadcast on state television, while adding that the tremor had left 3,100 people homeless and more than 3,200 injured.
The UN's International Organization for Migration estimates that up to 6.76 million people require humanitarian assistance, with immediate needs including emergency shelter, safe water, and sanitation. Multiple countries and international organizations have launched emergency response initiatives.
