GENEVA - International search and rescue teams from at least 17 countries are being scrambled to Venezuela to help look for survivors of the devastating twin earthquakes, the United Nations said on Friday.

Getting those search and rescue teams to the scene is the “top priority”, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
