L057-VENEZUELA IMAGENES AEREAS DE LOS DESTROZOS

Drone footage revealed the scale of devastation in Venezuela’s La Guaira on Monday (June 29), showing buildings collapsed into piles of dirt and rubble in the coastal state about 40 km (25 miles) north of Caracas.

Rescue efforts have been focusing particularly on the area, the hardest-hit state of a country long mired in a deep political and economic crisis.

Wednesday's twin earthquakes have left close to 1,500 people confirmed dead and hundreds of collapsed buildings.

The international community has rallied to help Venezuela in the wake of the disaster. The country has received support from 24 countries, which have sent over 500 metric tons of supplies, more than 2,700 rescue and support personnel and about 86 canine teams, according to Venezuelan authorities.
