Frustration grows in Venezuela as earthquake death toll reaches 1,430

Tensions are high in Venezuela as the death toll rises to 1,430 after two powerful earthquakes struck three days ago. Families have reported that 68,900 people are missing. Many civilians are leading search efforts, frustrated by what they see as an inadequate government response. International rescue teams continue to join the effort, with 17 flights bringing over 1,600 rescue workers by Saturday. The disaster is a major challenge for acting President Delcy Rodríguez. The capital's main airport is damaged, complicating aid delivery.
