At least 188 people have been killed and more than 1,500 injured after powerful back-to-back earthquakes in Venezuela, according to the latest reports.

Rescuers are searching the rubble in Caracas and the state of La Guaira, where the UN says more than more than 100 buildings have collapsed.

The quakes, with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, hit a minute apart. The second was the strongest to hit Venezuela since 1900.

Here's what we know so far about the earthquakes.

UPDATE: The President of the National Assembly Jorge Rodríguez has since said 250 buildings have been damaged or lost.
