Venezuela’s earthquake victims receive solidarity, need long-term support

Rescue efforts in Venezuela continue as thousands of people remain missing — trapped under the rubble of flattened homes and buildings nearly a week after two back-to-back earthquakes devastated the capital, Caracas, and the nearby city of La Guaira.

In the face of the wreckage, "we're seeing also a lot of solidarity from the Venezuelan people" who are sharing space and resources with those displaced by the earthquakes, says Beatriz Ochoa, Latin America head of advocacy for the Norwegian Refugee Council.
