Residents in earthquake-affected areas of Venezuela have voiced anger over the official response to the disaster, with volunteers leading the search for survivors.
The BBC's Orla Guerin reported from Catia la Mar, a coastal city in northern Venezuela, where locals feel neglected by the state's efforts to assist victims and locate those still trapped under rubble.
Volunteers are actively engaged in rescue operations, attempting to find individuals who may remain beneath the debris of collapsed buildings following the recent earthquake.
