"The government isn't doing anything for the people," residents yelled from behind a cordon on Friday, many of whom had loved ones trapped under the debris."Get out! Get out!" they shouted at Rodriguez.Three days after powerful tremors of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 killed 1,430 people and left more than 50,000 missing, fury with perceived governmental inaction is mounting -- as is the feeling of helplessness.People in Caracas and the hard-hit state of La Guaira further north have resorted to using their hands to dig through the detritus for survivors and victims, in the absence of official support.In La Guaira, the search was on to rescue nine-year-old Dana, who had spent more than 18 hours trapped under the rubble.Those digging for her listened to her cries for help alongside her mother's uncontrollable sobbing."Since last night we've been trying to get the little girl out and you can hear her voice there," 48-year-old neighbor Dani Rizo told AFP."She's dead," he said hours later, misery etched into his face.'No way to help'Venezuelans are calling for faster deployment of rescue teams and heavy machinery to remove concrete blocks.Generators, metal grinders and backhoes to clear debris are also desperately needed, affected residents say."There's a space where there's a young woman who answers me, and her name is Jennifer, from the 11th floor," Antonio Bermudez, 45, told AFP."However, we don't have tools. We have no way to help."Two brothers are trapped just a few meters away from Jennifer, according to Bermudez."One of them answers and says he's wounded in the stomach," he said, recounting how their father and another brother were using a pickaxe and a sledgehammer to try to break them free.Thousands have spent the past three days similarly toiling away, without government support.Domingo Pacheco, a 52-year-old volunteer rescuer with more than three decades of experience, has stepped up to help."It's an extremely critical situation because there's a serious lack of help in terms of machinery and manpower," he told AFP.'There are people alive'The quakes were the most powerful to hit Venezuela since a 7.7-magnitude tremor struck offshore in 1900.
