Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced $150 million in aid and said that search and rescue teams out of Virginia and Los Angeles are already departing for Venezuela and that more teams would be expected to follow.

The Pentagon is running aid flights already into a cleared air base near Caracas and is providing the Venezuelan government with a lot of the overhead imagery of some of the hardest hit areas to help in the recovery effort.

Several other countries are also sending rescue crews and aid shipments, including France, Mexico, Qatar, Colombia, and Brazil, but the U.S.

certainly leading the way.

Yeah, the next few days are obviously critical as rescue crews still have the chance to rescue victims trapped in buildings.

But honestly, the picture is not encouraging.

Power, water, and gas are out of commission in the capital and other affected areas.

And that infrastructure was crumbling before these earthquakes.

The rescue window is short and the resources on the ground are being stretched to the brink.

Adding to the urgency, experts expect aftershocks for at least the next week.

And there's a one in four chance of another magnitude six earthquake in the next week as well.

The death toll, again, is going to continue to climb as crews dig through the rubble.

We will keep an eye on any new developments.

But thankfully, help from the U.S.

and others is on the way.

You're going to be thinking about that for a couple minutes, huh?
