At least 164 people have been killed and nearly 1,000 injured after two powerful earthquakes rocked Venezuela within seconds of each other on Wednesday, interim president Delcy Rodríguez has said.
The second quake was one of the strongest tremors to hit the South American country in a century, at a magnitude of 7.5.
Buildings collapsed and residents ran into the streets for safety as tremors from the twin quakes struck the capital Caracas, with rescuers racing to find survivors who may be trapped beneath rubble.
