Rescue teams withdraw as Venezuela quake toll rises with thousands missing
Death toll rises as rescue teams race against time in Venezuela earthquakes
Boy rescued alive three days after Venezuela earthquakes as death toll rises
The death toll from Venezuela’s twin earthquakes has risen to at least 1,450, with rescue teams racing against time as hopes of finding survivors fade five days after the disaster. National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez confirmed the updated figure on Sunday, while more than 3,150 people remain injured and 12,721 have been displaced. International aid teams, including those from the European Union, Turkey, and Lithuania, have joined local efforts, but frustration is growing over the government’s response and the lack of coordination.
Aerial footage reveals entire neighborhoods in Caracas and La Guaira reduced to rubble, with 189 buildings completely collapsed. Rescue workers, aided by search dogs and advanced technology, have pulled 33 survivors from the debris over the weekend, including a father and son found alive four days after the quakes. Yet the critical 72-hour window for live rescues has passed, and a new 4.6-magnitude aftershock rattled the capital early Monday, further destabilizing already precarious structures.
Among the most poignant stories is that of Dayana Patiño, an 18-day-old baby, and his mother, rescued from the ruins of a collapsed high-rise in La Guaira. Patiño, trapped with her newborn son, credited the infant with giving her the strength to survive. Their rescue has become a symbol of hope amid the devastation, though the broader humanitarian crisis deepens. Over 50,000 people are still missing, according to local reports, and the death toll is expected to climb as recovery operations continue.
Criticism of the government’s handling of the crisis is intensifying. An editorial in *El Nacional* lamented the absence of the military in relief efforts, while international observers note bureaucratic chaos and a lack of unified command slowing aid delivery. Engineers have urged audits of state housing, citing poor construction standards as a factor in the collapse of buildings. Meanwhile, China pledged $14.7 million in aid and satellite support, and the U.S. doubled its assistance to $300 million, targeting healthcare, food, and shelter.
As the focus shifts from rescue to recovery, experts warn the disaster will exacerbate Venezuela’s existing economic and displacement crises. The International Rescue Committee’s Elinor Raikes described the quakes as a collision of natural disaster and systemic vulnerabilities, with recovery likely to span months rather than weeks. For now, the world watches as Venezuela confronts the grim aftermath of a catastrophe that has left thousands grieving and millions in need.
