Some say they are still trapped and begging to be rescued. Others are searching for loved ones from whom they have had no news since the tremors. But they all have one thing in common: more than 24 hours after the seismic doublet that shook Venezuela on Wednesday night, they are turning to the media and social networks in search of some relief from their pain.
On the Euronews Spanish-language TikTok channel, many users joined a live broadcast of the rescue operations to ask for help or draw attention to the many life-or-death situations unfolding across the country — after two earthquakes, of magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5, plunged much of Venezuela into chaos.
"🆘 Copy! Help, we are trapped on the 7th floor of Res. Caribe Mar, with two children and a five-month-old baby," read one of the most-shared messages in the chat, initially posted by user A.G🍒👸🏾. Before long, another user named Karina replied with a hopeful update: "@A.G🍒👸🏾 they have already been rescued."
