Victims of the dual earthquakes in Venezuela last week recounted to various outlets this week the harrowing ordeal of trying to identify their loved ones among the bodies lying on the ground at the port of La Guaira, which the government is using as a makeshift morgue. Two earthquakes, one registered at 7.2 and another at 7.5, struck the state of La Guaira and neighboring Caracas within seconds of each other late on June 24, sending hundreds – potentially thousands – of buildings crumbling and trapping an untold number of people.
