Rodriguez, who also heads the command center for temporary camps, said on Friday in an update posted on Telegram that 6,462 people had been rescued and 86,117 families had received assistance.

The earthquakes damaged 885 buildings and caused 189 others to collapse, he said, adding authorities had set up 59 temporary camps to accommodate those affected by the disaster, Xinhua news agency reported.

Since the powerful earthquakes, Venezuela has recorded 890 aftershocks, Rodriguez said.

"In honor of the memory of the victims, I have decided to decree National Mourning for seven (7) days, starting at 6:00 p.m. today," Rodriguez wrote in a statement posted on social media on Wednesday (local time).

She said that "in these moments of profound sadness, we embrace those who suffer from this tragedy and reaffirm our commitment to accompany and protect them."
