Venezuela rescuers continue searching for survivors in La Guaira

Rescue teams continued searching for survivors on Tuesday in the rubble of a collapsed building in Los Corales, La Guaira, five days after twin earthquakes struck northern Venezuela. According to the latest official figures, about 1,700 people have been killed and 5,000 injured.

Authorities have not released an official number of people still missing, though other estimates put the figure in the tens of thousands. Rescuers remain at the disaster site as search efforts continue despite fading hopes of finding more survivors.
