Death toll soars: At least 920 people are dead and over 3,000 have been injured after this week’s devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, according to the country’s top lawmaker. Rescuers are racing to reach survivors beneath the rubble before the “golden” window of time closes. Many displaced families have nowhere to go in Caracas, La Guaira and surrounding areas.

Mounting frustration: Venezuela was already mired in political and financial crisis. Some residents are calling for civilian volunteers to help clear debris, saying the emergency response is insufficient. Doctors say chronic underfunding left the healthcare system unequipped to treat the surge of patients.
