Toll from Venezuela earthquakes climbs to at least 920 dead, 3,360 injured

The toll from the back-to-back earthquakes that devastated Venezuela this week climbed Friday to at least 920 dead and 3,360 injured, authorities said.

The new figures were announced by Jorge Rodriguez, the president of the country's National Assembly.

The toll is likely to go higher as search-and-rescue operations continue. Many families say their loved ones are still buried under the rubble.

"Each person saved is a miracle," Rodriguez said.
