- Hope fades, hunger grows a week after Venezuela quakes
A week after twin earthquakes killed nearly 2,300 people in Venezuela, hope for finding survivors has faded, with many survivors facing severe food shortages. The hardest-hit areas in La Guaira show collapsed buildings marked as 'deceased,' and rescue teams report no expectation of recovering live victims. The United Nations estimates 50,000 people are missing, while Venezuela's political and economic crisis complicates recovery efforts.
