TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Almost seven million people may have been impacted by the twin earthquakes in Venezuela, the United Nations estimated.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said "up to 6.76 million people could be affected," adding that the calculation was based on available population and damage data.
The projections include up to two million people in Caracas alone.
The IOM said the estimate highlights "the potentially vast humanitarian impact of the disaster."
The national death toll stands at 920, while thousands of people remain missing, many of them trapped under the rubble in the coastal city, La Guaira, and elsewhere.
The UN migration agency urged a bigger response from the international community, adding that the country's needs were "immediate and significant."
IOM called for emergency shelter, safe water and sanitation, as well as health care.
Venezuela Sees Influx of International Rescue Teams
There has been an influx of international search and rescue teams, Venezuela's Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Oliver Blanco, said.
"In the last few hours, Venezuela has received 17 flights carrying more than 1,600 members of rescue teams," he wrote on social media.
Over the next few days, the arrival of 25 additional flights is expected.
Teams from countries such as Mexico, Spain, Colombia and the US are now working in the hardest-hit areas of Caracas and La Guaira.
Meanwhile, thousands of Venezuelan volunteers are joining the response, helping search for survivors and distribute supplies as the crisis unfolds.
