00:00And we are going to stay in Venezuela because crews are working tirelessly to clear the breeze
00:04and recover bodies. In this scenario, the waiting of grieving families continues. Many remain at
00:11the disaster site, waiting for the bodies of their loved ones. Others, living abroad,
00:16wait for news from afar. Our correspondent in La Guayra, Roberto Hugo Presa, has more information.
00:23This is all that remains of the Bahia Mar apartment tower in La Guayra's Carabaleta area.
00:28It was one of 190 buildings that collapsed due to the double earthquake.
00:34Many residents lie beneath these tons of rubble, and these rescue workers are trying to recover their bodies.
00:43Our focus has been on recovering bodies and rescuing survivors,
00:47but there are no survivors left at this point. Earlier, we rescued people who were still alive.
00:53Now, we are recovering bodies that are in an advanced state of decomposition.
00:59Heavy machinery and rescue teams are working around the clock.
01:04Meanwhile, the victims' relatives wait resignedly for the bodies to be recovered.
01:11My father and my sister lived here. What happened to them?
01:14They were on the ninth floor when the earthquake hit. Now they are buried there.
01:17We will keep digging to find them either there or somewhere else.
01:21Our goal is to recover my sister and father.
01:27Like Jose Francisco, many people are waiting for the bodies of their relatives.
01:32Kelly Granada's parents lived in this building.
01:35She lives in Los Angeles and is waiting for news from afar.
01:41It's extremely frustrating knowing that my parents are in the Bahia Mar building in Carabaleda,
01:46La Guaira, along with five other people, my cousin, her young daughter, her daughter's friend,
01:51her boyfriend, and his son, and that none of them have been found yet.
01:58Those who are mourning have come to terms with the situation.
02:02Now, they only hope to recover their loved ones' bodies so that they may give them a dignified burial.
02:09We are not going to give up until we find our family members.
02:12However God chooses to return them to us, they deserve a dignified farewell.
02:16We want to say goodbye to them properly, not leave them abandoned there.
02:23Official figures confirm that at least 5,000 people died in the June 24 earthquakes.
02:28As debris removal continues, more bodies are being found.
02:37Feels socks!
02:37Here, what was your circumstances.
02:37Well, there was no limitation inport 250 to 75 000 people's parents.
02:37True era, or school is almost already born.
02:38Those who accounts have died didn't have gotten so quite so close to us.
02:38And it was so close to us.
