委内瑞拉的局势每况愈下，在两场地震袭击该国三天后，民众仍在倒塌的住宅和公寓楼废墟中挖掘，目前已造成数百人死亡、数千人被困。
由于政府救援人员短缺，委内瑞拉民众自发开展失踪亲人搜救行动，而周三地震的伤亡人数仍在攀升。救援机构认为，搜寻幸存者的前48至72小时是关键窗口期，但如果被困者能获得食物和水，救援时间可适当延长。
尽管当局对外展现出政府应对有力的形象，但委内瑞拉民众表示，在受灾最严重的地区几乎看不到国家救援队。代理总统德尔西·罗德里格斯称，委内瑞拉政府正在这场“拯救生还者的关键时刻”展开全面应对，并欢迎国际救援队和人道主义援助的到来。
戴安娜·桑德拉诺在接受《哥伦比亚广播公司周六早间节目》采访时表示，她的兄弟已经失踪两天了，他居住的楼房在地震中被毁。救援人员和搜救犬正在该建筑内展开搜寻，她则祈祷能出现奇迹。桑德拉诺说，她会“坚持到底”搜救兄弟。
“他应该活下去，拥有未来，”搜寻了一天后，桑德拉诺如是说。
加拉加斯政府称，目前已有超过200人被救出，但约5.1万人仍下落不明。这一数字可能包含了因手机信号中断无法与亲人取得联系的民众，部分报告也可能存在重复统计的情况。
国际移民组织表示，委内瑞拉多达676万人可能受到地震影响，仅加拉加斯就有约200万人。

官员封锁震中区域，家属守候期盼
当局于周五晚间宣布，将封锁加拉加斯以北的地震震中拉瓜伊拉地区，因为现场混乱和交通拥堵已开始阻碍搜救工作。今后任何想要进入该区域的人员都必须申请官方许可，但当局未详细说明哪些人员可获准进入。
罗德里格斯表示，政府官员正在该地区分发食物和水。她称拉瓜伊拉已进入军事化管理状态，更多援助正在途中，尽管居民表示这些援助仅为他们所需的极小一部分。
娜扎雷斯·希门尼斯靠在一位亲人的肩上啜泣，看着邻居们用锤子和电动工具试图切开混凝土板块，这些板块已堆积成一座废墟山。她焦急万分，等待着兄弟姐妹、侄子侄女和朋友们能否生还。
“天哪，我们该怎么把他们救出来？”希门尼斯说道。
希门尼斯恳求能提供用于移开倒塌建筑的机械。
“我们向政府和世界各国发出求助，”她说，“里面还有活着的人。”

奥马尔·雷耶斯称，约有20名家人在这场灾难中遇难。
“我在这世上只剩孤身一人了，”雷耶斯走过埋着他两个孩子的废墟时说道。
美国西北大学荣誉教授埃米尔·奥卡尔告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，由于两场地震间隔仅一分钟，许多人来不及撤离楼房。地震震源很浅，对地表造成了巨大破坏。
两场主震后还发生了一系列余震，其中包括周五测得的4.5级余震。国际红十字会美洲区域主任洛伊丝·佩斯表示，“人们仍然害怕重返曾经的家园”。
地震加剧经济与政治动荡
这场灾难对罗德里格斯而言是巨大挑战。这位前副总统于今年1月就职，此前时任总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗被美国抓获并罢免。十多年来，委内瑞拉一直面临经济混乱，许多民众不认可罗德里格斯所代表的政治运动的合法性。
在迈奎蒂亚市，民众在店铺和药店外排队，商店和药店则闭门按序接待顾客。人群中一名女子一度扑倒在地，用身体护住一包尿布，拼命想要保住它。
交通和成群的摩托车手有时会干扰搜救工作。墨西哥士兵和志愿者多次要求现场保持安静，以便倾听废墟下的生命迹象，但无论是平民还是身着制服的摩托车手仍持续按喇叭、轰油门。

在拉瓜伊拉拥有200多栋住宅塔楼的卡蒂亚拉马尔社区，一些人开始从商店抢走卫生纸和食品等基本物资。另有一群人围聚在一辆分发面包和水的民用皮卡车旁，直到一名士兵出面干预才散去。一家药店的停车场变成了临时避难所，搭起了防水布、吊床和帐篷。
几英里外，28岁的尤莱迪·卡德纳斯站在一栋倒塌的公共住房对面，期盼着儿子、母亲和兄弟能被活着救出。
周三她从另一栋倒塌的建筑中赤脚逃生，却发现母亲居住的12层公寓楼已整体坍塌。
“我爬到废墟上，让他们回应我，但没人应声，不管是我兄弟、儿子还是母亲，”卡德纳斯说道。
国际救援队带来资源与专业支持
委内瑞拉当局周五表示，来自墨西哥、美国、萨尔瓦多、瑞士、哥伦比亚等国的861名志愿者已抵达该国，另有更多救援人员正从其他地区赶来。
罗德里格斯称，她周五与唐纳德·特朗普总统和国务卿马可·鲁比奥通了电话，两人再次承诺将派遣救援队和救援设备。
鲁比奥周四表示，美国的救援资源包括来自弗吉尼亚州费尔法克斯县和洛杉矶的搜救队。他还称，美国已运送医疗物资和人道主义援助。
Venezuela to limit access to hard-hit La Guaira region as search for earthquake survivors enters 3rd day
June 27, 2026 / 8:05 AM EDT / CBS/AP
The situation is growing more desperate by the hour in Venezuela as people dig through the rubble of collapsed homes and apartment buildings three days after twin earthquakes struck the country, leaving hundreds dead and thousands trapped.
Venezuelans took the search for missing loved ones into their own hands, citing a scarcity of government rescuers, as the human toll of Wednesday’s quakes climbed. Aid agencies consider the first 48 to 72 hours to be a crucial time frame to retrieve people alive, though that can be extended if they have access to food and water.
Venezuelans reported seeing few state rescue teams in the hardest-hit areas, despite authorities projecting an image of a robust government response. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez said the Venezuelan government was mounting a full response during these “critical hours for rescuing people alive” and welcomed the arrival of international rescuers and humanitarian aid.
Diana Sandrano told “CBS Saturday Morning” her brother has been missing for two days. The building where he lived was destroyed in the quakes. Rescue workers and search dogs scoured the building as she prayed for a miracle. Sandrano said she will search for him “as long as it takes.”
“He deserves to live and have a future,” Sandrano said, after a day of searching.
More than 200 people have been rescued so far, the government of Caracas said. But about 51,000 remain missing. The figure likely includes people who have been unable to communicate with loved ones due to the lack of cellphone signals, and some reports may be duplicates.
The International Organization for Migration said up to 6.76 million people in Venezuela could be affected by the earthquakes, including some 2 million in Caracas alone.

Officials block access to epicenter as families wait and hope
Authorities announced Friday night they would block access to La Guaira, the epicenter of the destruction just north of Caracas, as chaos and traffic began to hamper search efforts. Anyone who wants to enter would now have to seek official permits, but provided few details of who would be allowed in.
Rodríguez said food and water is being distributed in the region by government officials. She said La Guaira had been militarized and more help was on the way, even as residents said it was just a fraction of what they needed.
Nazareth Jimenez sobbed into a loved one’s shoulder as she watched neighbors use hammers and power tools to try to cut through slabs of concrete in a building reduced to a mountain of debris. She was wracked with anxiety as she waited to see if her siblings, nephews, nieces and friends would emerge alive.
“My God, how are we going to get them out of there?” Jimenez said.
Jimenez pleaded for machinery capable of moving collapsed structures.
“We’re making a call for help to the government and countries across the world,” she said. “There are still people alive in there.”

Omar Reyes said around 20 family members died in the disaster.
“I’ve been left alone in this life,” Reyes said, walking through the rubble where two of his children were buried.
Because the two quakes took place within a minute, many people did not have time to evacuate their buildings, Northwestern University professor emeritus Emile Okal told CBS News. The shallow depth of the quakes led to a massive impact on the surface.
The twin earthquakes were also followed by a series of aftershocks, including a 4.5-magnitude quake recorded on Friday. Loyce Pace, the International Red Cross’ regional director for the Americas, said “people are still terrified to reenter what were their homes.”
Earthquakes amplify economic and political turmoil
The disaster poses a huge challenge for Rodríguez, the former vice president who took office in January after the capture and removal of then-President Nicolás Maduro by the United States. Venezuela has been facing economic disarray for more than a decade, and many people reject the legitimacy of the political movement Rodríguez represents.
In the city of Maiquetia, people lined up outside stores and pharmacies that served them one by one behind closed doors. At one point a woman in a crowd threw herself to the ground to protect a package of diapers with her body, desperate to keep it.
Traffic and throngs of motorcyclists at times disrupted search efforts. Mexican soldiers and volunteers repeatedly asked for silence to try to hear signs of life under the rubble, but bikers — civilian and uniformed — continued to honk horns and rev engines.

Some people began to carry off basic goods such as toilet paper and food from stores in Catia La Mar, a neighborhood in La Guaira that holds over 200 housing towers. Others swarmed a civilian pickup truck that was giving out bread and water, until a soldier intervened. The parking lot of a pharmacy turned into a makeshift shelter with tarps, hammocks and tents.
A few miles away, Yuleidy Cadenas, 28, stood across the street from a collapsed public housing building, hoping her son, mother and brother would be pulled out alive.
She fled barefoot from another building as it collapsed Wednesday and found her mother’s 12-floor apartment tower had pancaked.
“I got on top of the rubble and told them to yell back, and nobody did, not my brother, nor my son or my mother,” Cadenas said.
International rescuers bring resources and expertise
Venezuelan authorities said Friday that 861 volunteers from Mexico, the U.S., El Salvador, Switzerland, Colombia and beyond were in the country, and more were coming from elsewhere.
Rodríguez said she spoke to President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday and they reaffirmed their commitment to send rescue teams and aid equipment.
The U.S. resources included search and rescue teams from Fairfax County, Virginia, and Los Angeles, Rubio said Thursday. The U.S. has also sent medical resources and humanitarian aid, he said.
