  The death toll in Venezuela’s twin earthquake disaster reached 1,430 on Saturday. Millions more were feared to lack sanitation and other basic needs as the first U.S. aid flights trickled into Caracas. Facing public outrage at the response by local officials, US-backed interim Venezuelan leader Delcy Rodriguez said the country was “not alone.” The United States said one runway at Simon Bolivar International Airport was now functioning and that C-17 US military planes were landing there, while a naval ship had arrived off the coast. The UN humanitarian agency OCHA said search-and-rescue teams from at least 17 countries were being mobilized to help find survivors.
