Multiple powerful earthquakes have devastated Venezuela, with the confirmed death toll now reaching at least 920. The widespread destruction has turned many homes, once symbols of the nation's socialist revolution, into rubble.
In response to the disaster, Venezuela has welcomed 1,600 foreign rescuers to assist in the urgent search for survivors. Among those participating are US rescuers, who are reportedly racing against a critical survival window to find those trapped.
The nation, which was reportedly on the cusp of a rebirth, now faces another significant challenge in the wake of this disaster. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
