Twin quakes kill over 1450

DISASTER: HOPES FADE AS THOUSANDS REMAIN MISSING

- 

Hopes were fading yesterday of finding survivors more than four days after powerful twin earthquakes struck Venezuela, as residents grow frustrated with the government’s response to the disaster that has killed at least 1450 people.

French and American rescue teams found a man and his teen son alive under the rubble on Sunday in Caraballeda, AFP journalists saw.

The rescue offered a glimmer of hope in an ongoing tragedy that has shaken a country already mired in an economic crisis, but tens of thousands of people were still unaccounted for as the critical 72-hour window for rescuing trapped victims passed.

Millions more people were feared to lack sanitation and other basic needs after one of Latin America’s most devastating earthquake disasters.
