At least 920 people have died as a result of Wednesday’s earthquakes in Venezuela, National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez said Friday, APA reports citing CNN.
The tremors have left at least 3,360 people injured and affected 383 buildings. At least 172 people remain trapped under the rubble, he said.
Rodríguez reiterated that La Guaira, the hardest-hit area, is fully militarized and he urged the public not to travel there.
“We appreciate the overwhelming desire to help, but the roads we are using to transport the injured are becoming congested. The best way to help is to keep the roads clear so that medical teams can transport patients and rescue crews can carry out their work more effectively,” he said
