A fresh 5.6-magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of Venezuela, intensifying fears in a nation already reeling from this week's catastrophic twin quakes. The death toll has now climbed to over 1,430, while nearly 68,900 people remain missing, according to government estimates. Rescue teams are racing against time to locate survivors trapped beneath collapsed buildings, but relentless aftershocks and a severe shortage of heavy machinery are hampering operations. The devastating back-to-back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes have left widespread destruction across the country, raising concerns that the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela could worsen dramatically.
