Offers of rescue support, aid and condolences continued to pour in for Venezuela on June 26, a day after two powerful earthquakes killed at least 235 people and injured more than 1,500.

United Nations-certified rescuers will help search for quake survivors, interim president Delcy Rodriguez said in a televised message.

Türkiye said a 67-strong team of search and rescue experts, medics and aid workers with two search dogs and three rescue vehicles would leave Istanbul Friday morning in two military planes.
