Over 1,400 dead in Venezuela earthquakes, over 50,000 still missing, families

At least 1,430 people have died and about 50,000 others are missing after two powerful earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5 that struck Venezuela on Wednesday.

Search and rescue operations continue uninterrupted, as families and emergency teams race against time to find survivors under the rubble.

The coastal state of La Guaira, near Caracas, is among the hardest-hit areas. Hundreds of buildings have collapsed, leaving thousands of people trapped under concrete and rubble. The death toll and injuries continue to rise by the hour.

On the ground, rescuers and residents are working with their hands, shovels and drones to locate signs of life. Humanitarian agencies emphasize that the first 48 to 72 hours after an earthquake are crucial for rescuing trapped people, especially if they have access to water and food.

"Every person saved is a miracle. We will not hide anything about the scale of this tragedy," declared the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez.

Although international search and rescue teams from Mexico, Spain, the United States and the United Kingdom have arrived in Venezuela, authorities and humanitarian organizations acknowledge that capacities on the ground remain insufficient for the scale of the disaster.

In the coastal town of Catia La Mar, where few buildings remain standing, government forces are distributing food and water to survivors. Interim President Delcy Rodríguez said the government has committed all its resources to rescue operations during the "critical hours" after the quakes.

Amidst the pain and uncertainty, families continue to wait for news of their loved ones. Jesús Suarez traveled about 200 kilometers to search for his son, Jean Suarez, who is believed to be under the rubble of a collapsed building.

"There is no information. I believe he could be there, but it is impossible to rescue him without specialized machinery. One person alone cannot do it, it is too dangerous," he said.

Another family anxiously awaits the rescue of 31-year-old Carlos Eduardo, who is trapped under the rubble. Relatives said they have occasionally heard his voice and groans, but he has not shown any signs of life for several hours.

"We called his name and he responded with a groan. Now we are waiting for help, hoping to get him out alive," his cousin confessed.
