Venezuelan president says she has faith rescuers will find survivors of deadly earthquakes

Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez says she is hopeful that teams will find survivors of Wednesday’s deadly earthquakes

Rescue efforts are continuing for a third day after two back-to-back quakes struck the country, killing at least 920 and injuring more than 3,360 people

The UN’s aid chief tells the BBC that today is “crucial” for relief efforts as international rescue teams arrive in the country

An update from Rodríguez on Friday put the number of trapped people at 172 – but tens of thousands of people are reported missing on a civilian-led rescue database

The quakes, with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, hit less than a minute apart while most were home for a national holiday – how locals are describing the scenes
