Two earthquakes struck Venezuela's coast on Wednesday evening, killing dozens of people and injuring more than 700 others. The first measured 7.2 magnitude and the second measured 7.5 magnitude, occurring seconds apart. Acting President Delcy Rodriguez said the quakes knocked down buildings in Caracas and other areas.
She declared a state of emergency and described the state of La Guaira as a disaster zone.
Emergency crews searched through rubble early Thursday for people believed to be trapped. Rodriguez said dozens of buildings had collapsed in La Guaira, about 30 kilometers north of Caracas. She said officials were carrying out intensive rescue operations to save lives.
