Venezuelan earthquakes death toll nears 5,000
The death toll from twin earthquakes in Venezuela has approached 5,000, with thousands missing. The Pan American Health Organization warns of a critical health emergency due to poor sanitation and an overburdened health system. Economists estimate the disaster could cost Venezuela 6% of its GDP, which has declined nearly 75% since 2013 under years of Chavista rule.
