Volunteers in Caracas rushed into the streets on Thursday after a fresh aftershock rattled the Venezuelan capital to help the victims of the powerful earthquakes that struck the country earlier this day.
At several sites across the city, volunteers joined rescue efforts, helping clear debris and deliver supplies to first responders.
Authorities coordinated precautionary evacuations of residential buildings as emergency crews continued searching for survivors trapped beneath collapsed structures.
Emergency operations have continued around the clock as rescuers race against time to locate anyone still alive beneath the rubble. Residents of damaged buildings say repeated aftershocks have made it impossible to feel safe indoors.
Authorities have urged residents to remain alert for additional aftershocks while search-and-rescue operations continue at multiple collapse sites across the capital.
