1:23Now PlayingHundreds more people have been confirmed dead after last week’s powerful twin earthquakes in Venezuela, even as the government defends its handling of the crisis.
Venezuelan authorities say more than 2,600 people died and more than 12,000 others were injured.
They did not say how many people remain missing, though one estimate says more than 38,000 are still unaccounted for.
Acting President Delcy Rodriguez has defended the official response. Rodriguez has also accused what she called “propaganda laboratories” of politicizing the humanitarian crisis to criticize her government.
Her 180-day period as interim leader expired Friday, and there has been no official word on what happens next.
