"We lost everything": the testimony of those who survived the earthquake
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Caracas, June 29 (EFE).- Five days have passed since the double earthquake measuring 7.2 and 7.5 that struck northern Venezuela, and survivors feel they have nothing left to live for in the coastal state of La Guaira, the hardest hit by the tragedy. "There’s nothing left, there’s nothing for us down there, a city that is uninhabitable, where there is no water, no electricity, no buildings, no supermarket, no hospital, nothing," said Francis Martín, who managed to escape alive from the building where he lived in the La Llanada area, along with his mother, who suffered some injuries while running. Now, both are staying at the hotel where his mother works, and he stated that they have been "very accommodating" regarding their situation. Martín believed that the building where he lived could be salvaged, but he added, "it’s useless to have a building in a city where there is nothing."
