Venezuela quake death toll nears 1,000 as foreign rescuers arrive

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.

The US military is on the ground for rescue efforts in Venezuela — where, earlier this year, special forces conducted a deadly raid to seize then-President Nicolás Maduro. A wave of machinery, supplies and international aid workers is heading toward hard-hit areas.
