The United States military repaired and reopened a key seaport in the hardest hit area of Venezuela on June 29, as the country began burying more than 1,700 victims of twin earthquakes that have left tens of thousands still missing.

L’assistance internationale commence à arriver dans le pays alors que le bilan de 920 morts, auxquels s’ajoutent 50 000 disparus, risque de s’alourdir.

US troops are repairing the Caracas airport and reopening La Guaira port so earthquake aid can reach Venezuela, in a large-scale relief deployment.
