Assessment
Venezuelan authorities have released new casualty figures from a major earthquake, with over 1,400 confirmed dead and a staggering 47,000 people still unaccounted for. The official, Jorge Rodriguez, provided these numbers on a Saturday, also reporting thousands of injured and homeless. The massive scale of the missing suggests the true human toll may be far worse than the confirmed deaths, and the disaster's full scope remains unknown.
