It's been a week since Venezuela's worst earthquake disaster in over a century. Thousands of people are feared dead, with the official death toll continuing to rise as hope fades of finding survivors in the rubble.
The South American country now faces a humanitarian catastrophe — on top of the deep crises it was already dealing with before the quakes.
Here's a look at some of the major developments since the evening when tragedy struck.
Venezuela's rare double earthquakes happened within seconds of each other on June 24 at 6:04 p.m., measuring a magnitude 7.2 and 7.5. Their epicenters were in Yaracuy state west of the capital of Caracas, and they were felt across Venezuela and even parts of neighboring countries. Venezuelan authorities say the hardest-hit area was La Guaira state.
As of Wednesday, the number of people killed by the earthquakes had risen to 2,295, and more than 11,200 injured, said Jorge Rodríguez, Venezuela's National Assembly president. But tens of thousands of people are still unaccounted for.
