Frustration is rising across Venezuela over the lack of aid in areas struck by deadly twin earthquakes last week, which killed at least 1,700 people and left thousands homeless.
Jorge Rodriguez, the acting president’s brother and president of the National Assembly, said on Monday that the number of confirmed dead had reached 1,719, with 5,034 injured and 15,866 left homeless.
The international community, including Türkiye, has rallied to help Venezuela respond to the disaster. Authorities say the South American country has received support from 30 nations, including 1,000 metric tons of supplies, more than 3,600 rescue and support workers, and 118 search-and-rescue dogs.
