Venezuela Enters Critical Phase of Survivor Search: Tragedy Leaves 920 Dead
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Venezuela is in a critical phase of search and rescue following devastating earthquakes that have resulted in at least 1,430 deaths and left around 50,000 people missing. Access to La Guaira, the hardest-hit area, has been restricted by authorities to facilitate rescue efforts, which are mainly being conducted by local residents due to a shortage of government rescuers. Over 14,000 military and police personnel are on patrol, and more than 1,600 international rescuers from various countries have arrived to assist. The situation remains dire, with reports of food shortages and allegations of military confiscation of aid. The Maiquetía airport has reopened one runway to facilitate rescue operations.
