The death toll from two powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela on Wednesday has climbed to 1,430, with 3,238 people injured, according to officials. Rescue efforts are ongoing, though the critical window for finding survivors is narrowing.

At a hospital in Caracas, which is receiving victims from the most affected regions, friends and families of the missing are gathering in the hope of locating their loved ones. The earthquakes' impact continues to be felt across the country as recovery operations proceed.
