She said the earthquakes caused damage in several states and urged people to &quot;remain calm&quot;.<br \/>\nThe president of Venezuela&#8217;s National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez, gave updated figures on Thursday for the numbers of dead, trapped and injured in the quakes.<\/p>\n<p>He said at least 188 people had been killed, more than 200 were trapped under the rubble and a further 1,500 had been injured.<\/p>\n<p>Officials urged people to remain outside as aftershocks could cause further damage.<\/p>\n<p>Ecuador ordered the delivery of humanitarian aid, and Rodr\u00edguez said Qatar, Mexico and El Salvador had already sent rescue personnel.<\/p>\n<p>US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US was deploying search teams, medical resources and humanitarian aid as well.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We will have a whole government response,&quot; Rubio said Thursday. &quot;It will be big. It will be fast. It will be effective.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Rodr\u00edguez &#8211; who became acting president after an American military operation captured her predecessor, Nicol\u00e1s and brought him to the US to stand trial &#8211; thanked US President Donald Trump for the help.<\/p>\n<p>She also asked all healthcare professionals in the country to report to hospitals to help anyone who was injured.<\/p>\n<p>The casualty figures released early Thursday excluded the state of La Guaira, which Rodr\u00edguez described as a \u201cdisaster zone\u201d and the area hardest hit.<\/p>\n<p>French President Emmanuel Macron took to X to express France&#8217;s solidarity with the people of Venezuela, stating that a team of 85 French rescue workers had been deployed to assist with rescue efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The US Geological Survey initially said the first earthquake had a magnitude of 7.1, later revising that to 7.2.<\/p>\n<p>Its epicentre was west of Mor\u00f3n on the country\u2019s Caribbean coast, about 168 kilometers (104 miles) west of Caracas. The quake had a depth of 22 kilometers (13.6 miles).<\/p>\n<p>The USGS reported an even larger 7.5-magnitude earthquake just a minute later. The second quake had a depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) with an epicenter 16 kilometers (10 miles) southwest of Mor\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>The quakes struck shortly after 6pm.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http:\/\/bit.ly\/2lOHmNj<br \/>\n\u2022 Get breaking news and more stories at http:\/\/www.itv.com\/news<\/p>\n<p>Follow ITV News on TikTok https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@itvnews?lang=en<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itvnews\/<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/itvnews\/<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on X: https:\/\/twitter.com\/itvnews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Venezuelans searched for survivors beneath collapsed buildings on Thursday as rescue teams raced to the scene of two powerful earthquakes that officials say killed at least 188 people, with many more feared dead.
