And then you think about places like where I've been over the weekend, Catia la Mar and La Guaira State, where the devastation is genuinely hard to describe.
You walk down certain streets or you drive down certain parts of the town and there are more buildings completely collapsed.
than they are still standing, and there are teams working on them, but then you realise they're not necessarily official rescuers or teams sent from abroad.
They're just neighbours with pickaxes and hands.
I spoke to one man who was a mechanic from Caracas and figured he could help, so he got on a motorbike and headed his way down there.
So that's the sort of picture of what's going on, and people are well aware that they're probably basically looking to pull out bodies at this stage rather than find any more survivors.
Yes, and their support has been hugely appreciated by the Venezuelan people and the families.
I think the basic score, though, is there simply hasn't been enough of it.
And that people who are desperately waiting, not just for their family members to be fined, but for the buildings where they know their family members were to be properly searched, that they feel that no attention has been turned onto their buildings and that they've been left on their own.
And that, I think, is the biggest frustration.
That frustration is beginning to turn into...
to much clearer anger towards the government.
But I think there is also a recognition that the scale of this disaster is one that would be a challenge for any nation, particularly in Latin America, and for Venezuela that's been through so much in recent years, it is a Herculean task.
That's right.
I'm at a hospital in Caracas at the moment.
There was just quite a sizeable aftershock, and apparently the children in the paediatric ward began to scream, saying, it's happening again, it's happening again.
You can imagine the trauma there.
And on the walls of this...
hospital are the names of the missing.
So, of course, those who are inside the hospitals, particularly the ones who've been reunited with their families, really are the lucky ones.
