A month after Venezuela quakes, families still search rubble
What's new: More than 5,300 people are reported dead and as many as 50,000 remain missing in La Guaira.
One month after twin earthquakes struck Venezuela on June 24, families in the coastal state of La Guaira are still digging through collapsed apartment blocks in search of missing relatives. The disaster has killed more than 5,300 people, and estimates for those unaccounted for reach up to 50,000. Recovery remains slow as shattered schools, clinics and water systems leave many communities without basic services. BBC footage from the worst-hit towns showed relatives continuing hand searches through debris, while aid workers described a humanitarian emergency that is still unfolding weeks after the tremors.
