At least 920 people have been killed and 3,360 injured after two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela on Wednesday night.
According to Sky News, the latest casualty figures were confirmed on Friday by the head of Venezuela’s National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez.
No fewer than 50,000 people have been reported missing following the 7.2 and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes, which struck within minutes of each other.
The second quake is believed to be the strongest to hit the South American country in more than a century.
