Venezuela demolitions hinder search for quake victims

Venezuela has begun demolishing unstable buildings after the June 24 earthquakes that killed at least 6,125 people, complicating efforts by survivors to recover loved ones' bodies. Glenda Viloria, who lost six family members, including her sister's toddler, sleeps near the cleared site of her former home in Caraballeda, refusing to leave until the child is found. Rescue teams continue nighttime searches, but the government's push to clear wreckage has sparked controversy among families still seeking the missing, whose numbers are believed to be in the thousands.
