Venezuela reports 32 dead and over 700 injured after its twin earthquake, toll expected to rise

Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodríguez reported on Thursday at least 32 dead and more than 700 injured from the two earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 that struck the north-central part of the country on Wednesday, and warned that the toll would rise. “We have reports of 32 dead, not yet counting the figures that the state of La Guaira may yield, and more than 700 injured,” the leader said in a broadcast on the state channel Venezolana de Televisión.
