The death toll from Venezuela's earthquakes is now 1,430, with 3,238 injured, according to lawmaker Jorge Rodríguez.
Nearly 72 hours have passed since twin earthquakes shook Venezuela in what top lawmaker Jorge Rodríguez has called "the most disastrous event" the country has suffered in the last 123 years.
The death toll has risen to 1,430, with 3,238 injured, Rodríguez says.
With homes flattened, 3,142 families are reported to be in shelters.
Rescue teams and locals are searching through the rubble - one international rescuer tells us Venezuelan equipment is "decades behind international standards".
There’s growing frustration at the pace of the government response, says our correspondent in La Guaira.
Amid the devastation, there have been some moments of joy, including when a newborn baby was freed earlier.
But tens of thousands could still be missing - the exact figure is unclear - and photos of loved ones have been posted on hospital walls.
As for tomorrow, search and rescue will continue.
Many Venezuelans cling to hope that their loved ones are still waiting to be found. One Caracas resident, whose son is missing, asks: "Please don’t stop searching."
Families have been searching for relatives in the rubble with their bare hands, outside dozens of collapsed buildings in La Guaira.
Those I spoke to were sleep-deprived, their voices hoarse from screaming for survivors. One woman was still holding on to hope that her son would be saved.
I met Andreina Valerio outside a crumbling building. She told me she was worried about her almost two-year-old son, Santiago, and her partner, Ramsés Mendoza, who were still trapped inside along with all of Mendoza's family.
On the day of the earthquakes, Andreina came back from work to look for her child at her in-laws' house. She found the building in ruins.
That night she heard a voice coming from the ruins - a woman crying for help. On Friday, she went back again and heard a baby crying.
She told me she has faith that the voice belongs to her son, and that he and her family are alive.
