More than a week after Venezuela's devastating earthquakes, today, there was a rare moment of hope. A security guard was pulled alive from the rubble after eight days trapped underground following a painstaking multinational rescue effort.
But, for most, the crisis is only deepening. The official death toll has climbed to nearly 2,300, with thousands more injured and tens of thousands still unaccounted for. As rescue efforts continue, overwhelmed morgues, growing humanitarian needs, and mounting frustration over the pace of the response are compounding the crisis.
Amid that effort is chef Jose Andres, whose organization, World Central Kitchen, is on the ground delivering meals to survivors and first responders.
Chef Andres, welcome to the "News Hour."
