Rescue operations are ongoing in Venezuela following last week’s twin earthquakes, with search and rescue teams from around the world working on the ground in an effort to locate any remaining survivors.
At least 1,450 people have died, with the death toll expected to rise as rescue teams continue combing through collapsed buildings. Authorities and emergency teams say the chances of finding survivors are becoming slimmer with every passing hour.
Survivors continue to recount their rescue experiences, while some Venezuelans have criticised the government’s response, citing a shortage of essential machinery that they say has slowed operations.
