Over a week after two earthquakes struck La Guaira, Venezuela, on June 24, 2026, residents, alongside emergency responders and volunteers, continue the arduous task of sifting through rubble in search of survivors. While heavy machinery like excavators and cranes has finally arrived in La Guaira, north of Caracas, the distribution of aid and rescue efforts remains uneven. The Graradoz family, for instance, has been digging for three relatives trapped in a leaning 12-story building where the first two floors have collapsed, with their apartment located on the first floor. The family expressed frustration, stating that many rescuers initially present departed without offering assistance, with only Mexican teams providing temporary reinforcement to their makeshift tunnel.
