Venezuela Earthquake Death Toll Nears 1,500. The death toll from this week's powerful earthquakes in Venezuela has risen to nearly 1,500 as rescue teams continue searching for survivors. Interim President Delcy Rodríguez said people were still being found alive and rescue operations would continue. The hardest-hit area is La Guaira, where dozens of buildings collapsed and thousands of people have been displaced. Authorities said more than 3,100 people have been injured, over 12,700 displaced and 774 buildings destroyed. Rescuers pulled more survivors from the rubble on Sunday, including a father and son, while tens of thousands remain unaccounted for. The United States Geological Survey warned the final death toll could exceed 10,000. More than 2,600 international rescue workers have joined the search, with teams racing against time after the devastating quakes. Pope Leo XIV offered prayers for the victims, while U.S. officials said additional disaster aid is expected.
