“I pulled my daughter halfway out. They’re not going to move from there,” Wilker Molaya said. “I have nothing to lose – let them kill me if they want.”
International response teams from the US, Mexico and elsewhere have joined Venezuelan authorities in the search, but as the critical 72-hour window for finding survivors has passed, anger and frustration is growing.
Aftershocks and a lack of heavy machinery have been slowing searches in some of the hardest-hit areas, while communities continue to attempt to clear debris on their own.
The death toll has risen to 1,450 people, and this number is expected to increase as tens of thousands are still missing.
