The two powerful earthquakes that struck near the Venezuelan capital have been followed by 138 aftershocks. The BBC reports that the death toll from the natural disaster has now risen to 235. More than 1,500 people have been hospitalized. Meanwhile, the Venezuelan government says that rescue operations are continuing to rescue people trapped in the rubble of collapsed buildings. Accordingly, it is believed that the death toll could rise further. The first two earthquakes measured 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale, respectively. The earthquakes occurred within seconds of each other. A state of emergency was declared in the country and rescue operations were launched under the command of a general appointed for the purpose. Venezuela's main international airport has also been closed. The BBC reported that electricity and internet services have also been disrupted in many areas. This has also hampered rescue operations and relief services. Meanwhile, the United States has said that it will provide $150 million in aid to Venezuela for the ongoing rescue operations and relief services. In addition, many countries including Mexico, El Salvador and Qatar have also expressed support for relief services.
