Venezuela earthquakes updates: 3-year-old boy pulled out of rubble after 6 days

A Contingency Response Element (CRE) that includes 100 US Air Force airmen arrived in Venezuela on Sunday and will help make repairs at Simon Bolivar International Airport -- which serves capital city Caracas -- to make it operational, according to U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM).

Over the next 24 hours, 130 Marines will arrive at La Guaira to help reopen its port so that it can be used as an entryway for aid, SOUTHCOM said.

U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) posted several photos on X Sunday of U.S. military personnel meeting with Venezuelan officials, including Maj. Gen. Kevin J. Jarrard, conducting a survey at the Port of La Guaira.

"The United States stands with the Venezuelan people and has mobilized an unprecedented, large-scale response to support international earthquake relief efforts in the country," the SOUTCOM post said. "The @DeptofWar is supporting the @StateDept-led U.S. response."

Jarrard was dispatched to Venezuela on Thursday, the day after the two deadly earthquakes, according to SOUTHCOM.

Later Sunday, SOUTHCOM also shared a video on X that it said is from a Venezuelan citizen and which shows U.S. Marines marching past a site to assist search and rescue efforts, featuring someone ff camera say “USA, thank you!”

The death toll has increased to 1,450 from last week's twin earthquakes in Venezuela, according to a government official.

National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez posted the update to X on Sunday afternoon, adding that the number of injured is 3,150, which is down from the previously offered number of 3,200.

Some 12,721 people have been displaced by the earthquakes, Rodriguez also wrote, with 774 buildings affected, 189 of which had collapsed, he said.

Analysis of satellite images by researches at Oregon State University calculated the number of damaged or destroyed buildings at nearly 60,000.

Some two dozen countries so far have sent aid to Venezuela in the aftermath of last week's devastating earthquakes, according to the country's acting president.

"We have received support from 24 countries in the international community, which have sent 521 tons of supplies, 86 canine units, and more than 2,741 members of search, rescue, and support personnel, who are already integrated with our teams," Acting President Delcy Rodríguez posted on X Saturday night.

At least 1,430 people were killed and more than 3,200 injured in Wednesday's pair of powerful earthquakes, according to officials.
