Venezuela quake death toll rises to 1,430 as rescue workers are continuing to search for survivors of two deadly earthquakes that struck Venezuela earlier this week.
The country was hit by back-to-back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude tremors on Wednesday, causing widespread destruction and injuring almost 4,000 people. At least 383 buildings, 13 hospitals, 25 shopping centres and 1,002 other structures are said to have been affected by the quakes. Tens of thousands of people are reportedly still missing.
Emergency responders from around the world are now supporting search operations in Venezuela, with teams from across the European Union deployed to some of the nation's hardest hit areas.
More than 520 rescuers from across the EU have been mobilised, with the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Luxembourg having provided assistance, according to the European Commission’s Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations department.
Here's what we know about European and US rescue efforts so far.
