Rescue teams are working ceaselessly to reach those trapped under rubble. But as hope fades, anger is growing.

Each morning that Venezuelans wake to the aftermath of the dual earthquakes, it is a little darker, a little grimmer.

It means another night in which prayers for the miraculous recovery of missing loved ones went unanswered, in which the fitful sleep of the survivors is interrupted by nightmares of collapsed buildings and moments of sheer panic.

For ex-policeman Jan Carlos Roa Garcia and his family, it was another night sleeping rough. Their building in Caracas wasn't brought down but is too dangerous to return to.

Tears rolling down his cheeks, he says he's not sure he even knows how to rebuild his family's life again.
