00:26Another powerful earthquake has struck Venezuela.

00:30Just days after the country's devastating twin quakes.

00:33This time, a fresh 5.0-magnitude tremor has rattled the disaster zone, keeping survivors

00:40and rescuers on edge.

00:42The latest earthquake hit the country's northern coast, where thousands are already struggling

00:47to recover from the massive earthquakes that struck on June 24.

00:52Smaller aftershocks followed soon after, sending frightened residents rushing out of damaged

00:56homes once again.

00:57The human toll continues to climb.

01:01Officials now say nearly 1,500 people have lost their lives, while more than 3,000 others

01:08have been injured.

01:09The United Nations warns that over 50,000 people are still unaccounted for, and nearly 7 million

01:16people could ultimately be affected by this disaster.

01:20Rescue teams say the critical 72-hour window for finding survivors has now passed.

01:25The operation is increasingly shifting from rescue to recovery.

01:29Yet crews refuse to give up hope.

01:33Authorities say survivors are still being pulled from the rubble, despite the shrinking chances.

01:38More than 2,600 international rescue workers, along with search dogs and heavy equipment, are

01:45continuing operations across the worst-hit areas.

01:48The scale of destruction is enormous.

01:51More than 770 buildings have either collapsed or suffered severe damage, with at least 189 structures

01:59completely destroyed.

02:01But the crisis is no longer just humanitarian.

02:04Anger is growing over the government's handling of the disaster.

02:09Volunteers have criticized tight access restrictions, while thousands of families continue searching

02:15for missing loved ones through independent online databases, because communication networks

02:20remain disrupted.

02:21The economic impact is also becoming clearer.

02:25The United Nations estimates material losses of around 6.7 billion dollars, roughly 6 percent

02:32of Venezuela's economy, even though key oil infrastructure escaped major damage.

02:38As aftershocks continue to shake Venezuela, rescue teams remain in the field, hoping for more

02:44miracles, while the nation prepares for what could become one of the deadliest and costliest disasters

02:50in its modern history.
