Children are among the 33 survivors of the devastating earthquakes that hit Venezuela on Wednesday following intense rescue efforts this weekend.But the country continues to be decimated as tens of thousands remain unaccounted for with time for finding additional survivors running short.The death toll from the twin earthquakes has risen to 1,430 despite foreign rescue teams pouring into coastal La Guaira, near the capital Caracas, the hardest-hit state.Families and volunteers spent days pulling survivors and bodies from the rubble before the arrival of the more than 1,600 foreign rescue workers, often complaining of scant heavy equipment and a limited official presence, as hundreds of aftershocks deepened damage and kept residents on edge.The U.S. State Department hailed the rescue of a baby by U.S. rescue crews on Saturday, posting a video on X showing helmet-clad rescuers removing the blanket-wrapped and wailing child from the rubble and handing the newborn to someone who appears to be his father.A Colombian rescue team saved an 11-year-old boy, Moises, who had been trapped some 3 meters deep in rubble, after identifying his location with a scanner.The child, whose mother and sister were killed in the quake, was removed on a stretcher with a broken arm, his eyes covered by cloth to protect them from the shock of daylight.Mexican rescuers working at a collapsed building in the town of Caraballeda rescued another 11-year-old boy, who was seen being carried by crews on a stretcher out of the rubble. More than 30 people have been rescued this weekend from the rubble of Venezuela's devastating earthquakes following intense rescue efforts this weekend Workers remove debris from a collapsed building in the San Bernardino neighborhood of CaracasThe government - headed by interim president Delcy Rodriguez since her predecessor was removed by the U.S. in a January raid - had thanked civilian volunteers ferrying aid to La Guaira, which has been declared a disaster zone, but then heavily tightened access to the road, saying traffic was preventing efficient movement of emergency vehicles. Officials said anyone who wants to enter would now have to seek official permits, but provided few details of who would be allowed in. 'In these hours each life is hope for Venezuela,' Rodriguez said, as the government also shared a video of a young man being removed from ruins by rescuers.Top lawmaker Jorge Rodríguez has called it 'the most disastrous event' the country has suffered in the last 123 years, with whole swathes of towns and cities across the country reduced to rubble. The government has also said more than 3,000 people were injured and a similar figure was living in shelters - but just under 50,000 people were listed as unaccounted for on a website promoted by the country's political opposition on Sunday.The figure is a slight decline from Saturday, when 55,000 people were marked as missing.The U.S. Geological Survey estimated more than 10,000 deaths were possible from the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 quakes, which would place them among Latin America's deadliest of the last century.The clock is ticking for rescuing people still living amid the rubble.

The team possesses seismic and acoustic equipment that can sense movement of deeply buried victims, and their team leader, Vernon Young, reportedly said they are desperate to get out to Venezuela 'as soon as possible'.

We're a light team and can move quickly. The sooner you get there, the more chance you have of saving lives. 'Every situation is different, in Turkey they were pulling live victims out 14 days after the earthquake. We hope we can get out there and make a difference.'We're a technical rescue team and can potentially find deeply entombed victims just by their movement. We still believe we will make a decent contribution if we get there in the next day or two.'Mr Young, who is Serve On's international operations lead and training lead on top of his job as a construction project manager, added: 'We've been reaching out to any other type of flights, military flights and lots of different ways.'We have 11 out in deployment but twice that back in the UK working really hard to try to help us get there. We're not alone – there's a French team and two Spanish teams facing the same problems.'We've been in contact with the Government and we know they're doing all they can, we have evidence of that. They're out to help us.

Serve On as an organisation has proved we can affect people's lives deeply by saving people.'We all understand that things are difficult, we're frustrated and we want to be out there now.' It emerged over the weekend that a footballer's wife was killed in the devastating earthquakes as she acted to save the life of her one-year-old daughter. Rescuers found Andrea Bello's body among the rubble, but her daughter, Alana, survived following her mother's efforts to shield her during their home's collapse.In raw social media posts, husband Hector Bello, a defender for Venezuela's second division side Marítimo de La Guaira, shared his heartbreak, saying: 'You left us alone in the night, mummy. You left me all alone with our daughter.'Andrea, how do I explain to your daughter that you lost your life to save hers and I wasn't there in that moment to do anything? How do I explain? Give me strength now because I can't take any more.' In Caraballeda on Saturday, U.S. rescuers worked alongside remaining civilian volunteers, some of whom were searching for their own family members.Rescuers had originally spray-painted the rubble with the name of the apartment building that used to stand there. By Saturday evening they had marked debris with coding indicating they believed no living person remained in the ruins.Pope Leo on Sunday told worshippers gathered for the Angelus prayer in Rome that he wanted 'to express my closeness to the Venezuelan sisters and brothers affected by the recent earthquakes' and expressed gratitude to rescue workers.European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on X that the EU had mobilized 5 million euros (£4.3 million) in emergency assistance and that its Copernicus satellite system is helping map the damage and direct assistance to the areas most in need.A senior U.S. official said on Saturday that a funding package worth hundreds of millions of dollars is expected to be announced within the next day or so, in addition to $150 million that the Trump administration had already committed. The disaster could have political consequences for Rodriguez, who has portrayed herself as an agent of change even though she served as vice president under predecessor Nicolas Maduro.During a visit Rodriguez made to a Caracas neighbourhood that was all but razed to the ground, residents voiced their anger. Many screamed at her: 'The government isn't doing anything for the people.'Others said: 'Get out! Get out!' Power throughout the region has been gradually returning. Venezuela's power grid, crippled by years of underinvestment and economic sanctions, regularly experiences problems, leading to daily, hours-long blackouts in some regions.
