La Guaira port

Venezuelans are left to recover their dead by hand after twin earthquakes, with families like Noel Mrquez's describing the inability to access heavy machinery for rescue efforts. International teams are departing as decomposing bodies complicate recovery, and authorities focus on displaced people rather than aiding families searching for remains.

Venezuela's La Guaira port has reopened to deliver humanitarian aid for earthquake victims, according to the US military. The USS Fort Lauderdale is transporting critical supplies through the port following twin earthquakes that caused over 1,700 deaths and thousands missing.
