Rescuers race to find survivors after Venezuela earthquake as hopes fade

Search and rescue teams are continuing efforts to find survivors following Venezuela's devastating earthquakes, with volunteers and international crews working around the clock in the hardest-hit areas.

In La Guaira state, local volunteers led the initial rescue operations before specialist teams from Türkiye arrived to assist. Emergency workers believe at least one person may still be alive beneath the rubble of a collapsed building, but reaching survivors remains extremely difficult.

Families continue to wait anxiously for news of missing relatives as rescuers battle time, unstable structures and challenging conditions in Venezuela's worst natural disaster in decades.
