And I mean, look, there are helicopters in the air and there's backhoes and the Venezuelan government has deployed the military and the police and a bunch of foreign countries have sent rescue crews here.
But there's just not enough of them to get to, you know, the more than 700 buildings here.
that the government says we're damaged here.
Yesterday, we were in front of a three-story building that was completely collapsed, and I saw parents just moving pieces of concrete with their bare hands.
No rescue crew had stopped to help them, but their kid was under the rubble, and they just wanted to have him back.
So they were just there doing the work.
I, not officially, but we have seen a shift in the past few days.
Like on Saturday, there was a rush to try and get people out of the rubble.
And, you know, on the highways, I saw people just on motorcycles with like shovels and picks on their back.
And they were just trying to find any building that collapsed and they just started to dig.
You know, there were a lot of calls for help coming from the buildings, but the hours went by and the calls started diminishing significantly.
And the smell is sort of like the hardest part of this.
The streets in La Guaida, which got the hardest hit by the earthquakes, I mean, they started smelling of rotting flesh.
And rescuers say that the real opportunity to save people comes in the first three days.
But, you know, I think everyone who has a person who is missing, and there's thousands of reported missing people,
I think they're just waiting for a miracle at this point.
I mean, help is so limited here that as we saw big trucks and earth-moving vehicles move through the streets, people were standing in front of them saying, no, you have to go to my building to find my people.
Right.
So I think, you know, there's a lot of anger and a lot of resignation.
And you see that in that people are walking through half-collapsed buildings trying to take couches out and their couches out, their refrigerators out of these buildings, knowing that it could collapse at any minute, but they feel like they're not going to get any help.
