The death toll from the Venezuela earthquakes has risen to 589 and the number of injured is now 2,980, according to acting President Delcy Rodríguez.
A previous official update said 235 people had been killed and 4,300 were injured.
Two powerful earthquakes rocked Venezuela within seconds of each other on Wednesday. The second quake was one of the strongest tremors to hit the South American country in a century, at a magnitude of 7.5.
There has been 214 aftershocks since the initial quakes, Rodríguez said at a televised briefing on Friday.
Buildings collapsed and residents ran into the streets for safety as tremors from the twin quakes struck the capital Caracas, with rescuers racing to find survivors who may be trapped beneath rubble.
Multiple states have been affected. Rodríguez said earlier that La Guaira, a region north of the capital, had been hit the hardest.
A state of emergency has been declared while airport, rail and transport services have been halted.
