Venezuela Earthquake: Hope Fades Amid Rescue Efforts | Australia News

Venezuela’s devastating twin earthquakes have left a trail of destruction, with rescue teams working tirelessly but facing grim realities as hope for survivors fades. After 40 grueling hours, international crews from Ecuador and the U.S. pulled back from Macuto, where a mother and her three children were trapped in a collapsed nine-story building — no response came despite heroic efforts. Major Jorge Montanero bluntly stated the grim truth: victims, not survivors, are now expected. Amid the rubble, families and neighbors join the search, while satellite images reveal the catastrophic scale. Officials have prepared for the worst, stockpiling 10,000 body bags, with over 1,750 confirmed dead and thousands injured — a toll likely to rise as the disaster unfolds.
