The official death toll from Venezuela's back-to-back earthquakes has climbed to around 600, with thousands injured and more than 50,000 reported still missing. The hardest-hit area is La Guaira, where may residents have been digging through rubble themselves as rescue teams and international aid begin to arrive.

The World's Tibisay Zea reports.
