As Venezuelans struggle to find earthquake survivors, many blame the government

The death toll continues to rise in Venezuela after twin earthquakes struck last week devastating coastal areas. The government says more than 1,700 people have been killed. Tens of thousands are still missing.

In today’s episode, we’re on the ground in Venezuela to get an understanding of the rescue effort. We’ll hear frustration at the Venezuelan government’s response which many consider slow and poorly coordinated. And we hear the hope of rescue crews and families who are still digging through rubble, looking for a miracle.
