‘They are hoping beyond hope’: Rescue efforts continue at collapsed La Guaira building

This post was originally published on this site.

The search for survivors continues in the city of Catia la Mar following the earthquake in Venezuela last week.

More than 1,700 people are known to have been killed – but some continue to be rescued from beneath collapsed buildings days after the disaster.

In some areas, neighbours and family members have been searching for loved ones with their bare hands and any tools they can access.

The BBC’s Will Grant reports from the scene on the effort of locals to find any survivors.
