Rescue teams are searching collapsed buildings for survivors after two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela on June 24, causing widespread destruction in Caracas and other areas. A preliminary US Geological Survey (USGS) disaster model gave a 44% probability that the death toll could fall between 10,000 and 100,000. The figure is a model-based estimate, not an official count, and Venezuelan authorities have yet to announce a nationwide death toll.
