Venezuelan leaders have asked the UK to release about 30 tons of gold, currently frozen under sanctions, to aid in recovery efforts following a double earthquake.
Venezuelan authorities reported that at least 3,342 people died and approximately 16,700 were injured in twin earthquakes that occurred late last month.
After more than one day of active duty, Vietnam's military and police forces successfully located and recovered 13 bodies from the rubble in Venezuela.
The US announced the deployment of at least 4-5 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) along with 900 troops to assist Venezuela following a dual earthquake disaster that killed over 1.900 people.
