The death toll from twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on Wednesday has risen to at least 920, with more than 50,000 people still missing as rescue efforts intensify on Friday, officials confirmed. The 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude quakes, the most powerful in over a century, flattened entire neighborhoods in La Guaira, a coastal town near Caracas, where residents have accused authorities of failing to coordinate an effective response.

According to Venezuela’s health minister, at least 3,360 people have been injured, while the United Nations reports over 50,000 missing . The National Assembly president, Jorge Rodríguez, updated the figures on Friday morning, warning that the toll is expected to climb as search teams dig through rubble in the hardest-hit areas. Spain has urged its citizens in Venezuela to contact consular services, while the U.S. military has increased its personnel in the country to support aid operations .

International rescue teams from multiple countries, including trained search dogs, are en route to Venezuela as the crisis deepens. The U.S., Mexico, and Canada have dispatched assistance, with the UN humanitarian coordinator stating that additional search-and-rescue squads are on their way . Yet, in La Guaira and Caracas, survivors are conducting their own searches, using their hands to sift through debris after reports of delayed emergency alerts and overwhelmed local services .

The earthquakes struck late Wednesday, leaving a landscape of devastation with entire buildings reduced to rubble. La Guaira, a port city already struggling with economic and political instability, bore the brunt of the destruction. Residents have criticized the government’s slow response, with many taking to social media to share harrowing accounts of loved ones trapped under collapsed structures .

As the death toll continues to rise, the international community is mobilizing aid, but the scale of the disaster—with over 50,000 missing—means the full extent of the tragedy may not be known for days. The earthquakes have compounded Venezuela’s ongoing crises, leaving a nation already at breaking point to grapple with the aftermath of one of its deadliest natural disasters in modern history.
