Over 50,000 people missing, calls for help from rubble A race against time is underway in Venezuela, as rescue teams rush to save people trapped under rubble, after two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela near the capital Caracas.

The latest figures put the death toll at 235 and over 4,300 injured, but the real toll is expected to be much higher. There is a 42 percent chance that the death toll will exceed 10,000, and a 33 percent chance that it will exceed 100,000. In Caracas and the coastal city of La Guaira, people were heard screaming for help from the rubble of collapsed buildings.

Two powerful earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale were recorded one after the other. The epicenter in both cases was close to the surface, making the destruction even more widespread. 250 buildings are said to have been damaged or leveled, mainly in La Guaira, where a 10-story hotel was also reduced to rubble. A newborn baby was pulled alive from the rubble in this city, where, due to a lack of equipment, excavation is being carried out by hand.

An online platform aimed at tracing missing people says that around 50,000 people have been declared missing, including seven Venezuelan national football players. A number of countries have pledged to help the Latin American country, with the US pledging $150 million and lifting some sanctions against the country.

The US military is sending transport ships and aircraft to help with search and rescue operations. Venezuela's main airport on the outskirts of Caracas was closed due to serious damage, which was also shown in images circulating online. Aftershocks continued to be recorded in the area, with 30 recorded after the two earthquakes.
