The death toll from twin quakes, measured at magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5, has risen to at least 188, with more than 1,520 others injured, top lawmaker Jorge Rodriguez reported, while residents continue searching for missing relatives.

JYP Entertainment donated 300 million won ($195,000) to World Vision, an international relief and development group, to fund the emergency aid for victims of the deadly earthquake that struck Venezuela this week. 

A 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean coast near Venezuela's capital Caracas on Wednesday, destroying buildings and leaving hundreds dead or injured. A 7.5-magnitude earthquake is considered a major earthquake that can cause serious damage.
