Official figures from Venezuela state that the death toll from the earthquake has reached at least 2,295, with another 11,200 injured and tens of thousands still missing, as remote areas face shortages of water and food.
The United States promises to provide more than $300 million for Venezuela earthquake relief and will dispatch hundreds of U.S. military personnel to assist in transporting supplies, personnel, and equipment.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that, on the basis of the first batch of cash assistance, an additional 100 million RMB in non-repayable material aid will be provided to Venezuela.
