Summary
A new U.S. aid package worth at least $100 million is set to go to Venezuela this week as rescue crews keep searching for survivors after Wednesday’s twin earthquakes.
The fresh funding comes on top of $150 million already committed for disaster relief, sharply expanding Washington’s response to the disaster.
Two massive quakes struck the South American country on Wednesday, and the continuing survivor search underscores that the emergency phase is still underway.
