A strong aftershock strikes Caracas and La Guaira, AFP journalists report, nearly five days after the double earthquake that has already claimed at least 1,450 lives.

The aftershock is felt shortly after 7 a.m. (2 p.m. Israel time), as the search continues for survivors of last Wednesday’s quakes that rocked northern Venezuela, and with fears for the safety of hundreds of buildings weakened by the tremors.

No damage is immediately reported from the aftershock.
