Rescue teams are searching for survivors, including three teenagers believed to be trapped alive, following twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela. The worst-affected state of La Guaira has seen hundreds of coffins delivered to an improvised coastal morgue, with the government reporting around 2,000 deaths — a figure local destruction suggests may be far higher. US search and rescue teams from Fairfax County have joined efforts, bringing specialist equipment to cut through collapsed concrete. Families of the missing remain at the sites, refusing to abandon hope.
