Watch: Venezuela earthquake: death toll shoots to 589, several countries to the rescue

The death toll from two powerful earthquakes in Venezuela rose to 589, with 2,980 injured, acting President Delcy Rodrguez said early on Friday, June 26. Rescuers were boosted by international teams, as they raced to find survivors beneath collapsed buildings. India too has stepped in to help, with two Indian Air Force C-17s taking-off with medical teams and 35 tons of emergency supplies, as well as a military field hospital, as announced by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday.
