Rescuers are continuing a desperate search for survivors four days after two powerful earthquakes in Venezuela.
Local and international rescue teams are working around the clock to pull people from the rubble in the northern state of La Guaira. Thousands have been reported missing since the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes hit, according to databases being used by families searching for loved ones.
On Sunday the Venezuelan government confirmed that 1,450 are dead, and the authorities said they had treated more than 3,100 wounded people.
Aid agencies consider the first 48 to 72 hours after a natural disaster as crucial for retrieving people alive, though that can be extended if they have access to food and water.
One Sunday more than 770 buildings were also confirmed to have totally or partially collapsed from the earthquakes, twice as many as were reported on Friday. The risk of further damage remains as aftershocks continued to shake Venezuela, with quakes measuring 4.2 and 4.5 hitting on Sunday morning.
