Summary
Four days after devastating earthquakes struck Venezuela’s northern coast, rescue teams battle against time to save lives amid collapsing buildings and rising despair. Over 1,450 confirmed dead, but thousands remain missing as the window for survival narrows. International aid from the U.S. and France delivers hope, rescuing a father and son Sunday amid 2,200 responders on the ground. Yet criticism mounts over the government’s slow, restricted response, as access remains blocked and infrastructure crumbles. More than 770 buildings destroyed — double since Friday — with dust and decay spreading through devastated towns. Still, humanity persists: rescuers comfort trapped victims, makeshift gear shields civilians, and efforts to reopen airports and restore access continue, fueled by an unyielding will to find and save.
