The acting president has reported at least 32 deaths in Venezuela after two strong earthquakes rattled the capital and surrounding regions. Venezuela's interim leader declared a state of emergency on Wednesday after two powerful earthquakes and more than 20 aftershocks struck the country, damaging infrastructure and forcing the closure of Caracas' main airport. The two quakes struck the same area just minutes apart, causing damage in the capital, Caracas, and sowing panic and chaos as people rushed into the streets.
Rescue efforts under way as Venezuela declares a state of emergency after powerful twin quakes cause widespread damage. Two earthquakes hit Venezuela on Wednesday, the first measuring a magnitude of 7.2 and the second 7.5.

Al Jazeera English reported the story as "Venezuela rocked by 7.5, 7.2 earthquakes: What happened and what we know."
