At least 235 dead as Venezuela quake rescue efforts intensify

Rescuers and relatives continued searching collapsed apartment buildings in La Guaira on June 25 after two powerful earthquakes killed at least 235 people and injured around 4,300 across Venezuela. The bodies of two siblings, aged three and 10, were recovered from the rubble, while a four-year-old child was pulled out alive and rushed to an ambulance. More than 200 people were reported trapped as families waited for news of missing loved ones. International search-and-rescue teams and humanitarian aid are being deployed, while China said it stands ready to provide assistance according to Venezuela's needs.
