The overseas Chinese community in earthquake-affected Venezuela has contributed around 500 tons of emergency relief supplies, according to the Chinese Embassy in Venezuela.
As of 4 p.m. local time (2000 GMT) on Saturday, the Federation of Chinese Associations in Venezuela, along with other Chinese community organizations, had donated the supplies.
The donated items include bottled water, biscuits, diapers, milk, rice, sugar, and fish, providing assistance to nearly 10,000 families impacted by the disaster.
Two powerful earthquakes, with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, struck Venezuela on Wednesday.
The number of people killed in the earthquakes has climbed to 1,430, Venezuelan National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez said on Saturday.
