Venezuela earthquake death toll rose to nearly 1,500. The United Nations has estimated that some 50,000 people are missing after twin earthquakes that rattled Venezuela on Wednesday. Looting, theft in Venezuela's earthquake zone are adding to the tragedy and people's misery. Over 750 buildings collapsed in Venezuela due to the twin earthquakes that struck the country this week, National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez reported Sunday.
"There are 774 collapsed buildings, 189 of them total collapses," Rodriguez said as he presented the latest damage assessment from the quakes that struck Wednesday.
