Venezuela Earthquake: Rescue Teams Race to Find Survivors
The death toll from a series of powerful earthquakes in Venezuela has climbed past 900 as international rescue crews join the search through the rubble.
Rescue teams in Venezuela are working around the clock to reach people trapped under collapsed buildings after a series of earthquakes left more than 900 people dead.
International crews have arrived to support local responders, bringing specialist equipment and sniffer dogs to help locate survivors. In the worst hit coastal areas, families have gathered near damaged homes, waiting anxiously for news.
There have already been moments of relief among the tragedy. Rescuers pulled a newborn baby alive from the rubble, and footage showed a woman being carried to safety days after the first quake struck.
Officials have described the disaster as a devastating blow at a time of deep uncertainty for the country. Hospitals are stretched, and aid groups say clean water, shelter and medical supplies are urgently needed.
The interim leadership has pledged to save as many people as possible and has appealed for continued international support as the search effort moves from rescue toward recovery.
