Venezuela earthquake death toll passes 2,200 amid growing doubts

A powerful earthquake in Venezuela has killed at least 2,295 people, according to official figures, a week after back-to-back quakes struck the country. Morgues are overflowing and a medical crisis is widening, with the UN warning that children are at risk of exploitation. However, questions are being raised about the true death toll, as some survivors and observers doubt the official count. One woman who was deported from the US crawled from the rubble hours after arriving in Venezuela, unable to feel her legs. A video game simulation was also falsely shared as real footage of the disaster, according to an AFP fact-check.
