Venezuela Jewish official says 2 community members among quake dead, 4 missing

An official in Venezuela’s Jewish community says there are two Jews among the 1,430 people confirmed dead so far in the devastating earthquakes that have rocked the country.

“A man and a woman from the Jewish community were rescued from the rubble with no signs of life,” Ezra Kaim, the director of the Hebraica Caracas Jewish Community Center, tells Israel’s Kan public broadcaster.

“Additionally, there are still four missing [Jews] and many families who lost all their belongings in the quake.”
