Pile of dead bodies in Venezuela, 50,000 people missing! Public anger erupted due to ‘selfie’ of government officials on the pile of debris
Caracas: In the last few days, dangerous earthquakes of 7.2 and 7.5 magnitudes have occurred in Venezuela, causing a lot of devastation. The number of deaths and injured is continuously increasing here. The death toll has reached 1,430, while more than 3,200 people have been injured and about 50,000 people are still missing.
Let us tell you that La Guaira state has been most affected by this dangerous earthquake. The smell of debris and rotting corpses is spread everywhere here. Experts say that after any natural disaster, the first 72 hours are most important to find living people. That time is over now. The search for living people has now turned into a search for dead people.
Officers were seen taking selfies
A very shameful picture of the government’s insensitivity amid the earthquake has emerged. On one hand, thousands of people are buried under the debris, the dead bodies are rotting. On the other hand, government employees and officials who had come to visit the disaster affected areas were seen standing in front of the destroyed buildings and taking ‘selfies’.
The government’s laxity in relief efforts came to the fore when the government banned entry of the general public into the worst-hit La Guaira area and made it mandatory for local volunteers to obtain a ‘safe entry pass’ (permit) to rescue their loved ones from the debris. This angered the local people and said that the officer had come here to take a selfie to help.

His daughter and son-in-law died when debris fell from their house in La Guaira on Wednesday. “We pulled them out ourselves. No help was received.

What were the officials waiting for?
Let us tell you that after the terrible earthquake in Venezuela, on one hand people are immersed in the grief of losing their loved ones, while on the other hand the laxity of the government and administration has converted this pain into anger. “There have been piles of bodies since last night,” said Milady Romero, who was searching for relatives amid the debris in the coastal town of Carirableda. There are also innocent newborn children among those dead bodies.
Till 8 pm last night, people were alive and screaming under the debris, but the administration saw no need to rescue them. We have taken out many dead bodies at our level, but even the authorities did not help us in taking them out. What are they waiting for?
However, 21 countries including the US are taking part in this rescue operation. According to the United Nations (UN), about 67 lakh people have been affected by this disaster.
