Rescue crews and volunteers are racing against time to find survivors after twin earthquakes devastated Venezuela on June 24, killing at least 1,430 people.

More than 51,000 people remain missing, with officials warning the death toll will continue to climb as hopes of finding survivors fade.

Twin earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 struck near San Felipe about 40 seconds apart on June 24 at about 6pm local time. Since then, more than 302 aftershocks have been reported by the authorities.
