The U.S. State Department said it ​is mobilizing $150 million in humanitarian aid for Venezuela.

Axar.az informs, citing Reuters, that included $50 million in new bilateral funding for partners such as the ⁠U.N.'s World Food Programme and nonprofit organization International Medical Corps and a $100 million contribution to a U.N. pooled fund.

Washington is also sending a disaster response ​team with two urban search-and-rescue units, while providing airlift, logistics and coordination support to move personnel and life-saving supplies into affected areas, the State Department ​said.

"That's their most immediate need right now, is search and rescue efforts," U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier told reporters.

The U.S. military is helping transport supplies and personnel as well as support other relief operations.

It should be noted that the death toll from the earthquake in Venezuela has risen to 188, while another 1,520 people have been injured.
