[7/6/2026 7:57 PM] Loanpro: If hell exists, this must be it. On the 30^(th), we pulled my friend’s aunt and niece out, hugging each other and crushed. Like her, many of my friends are searching for their families. On top of that, there’s extortion by the militia and the police. They charge you to identify your relative’s body, and anyone with heavy machinery to clear the rubble extorts you into paying an exorbitant daily fee. I am surprised that the only action the government is taking is to demolish and clear the rubble as quickly as possible, even if there are still bodies trapped beneath the demolished buildings.
The countries sending relief are not addressing La Guaira's corrupt militia and police?
[7/6/2026 9:30 PM] D K:Operational & Security Control Government Restrictions: Acting President Delcy Rodríguez has heavily militarized access to La Guaira. Under government mandates, only strictly accredited international aid workers and civilian volunteers are allowed into the disaster zone to prevent gridlock. Independent media movement within the state is heavily restricted. https://latinamericareports.com/delcy-rodriguez-defends-response-to-venezuela-earthquakes/14871/

I understand that a lot of medicine has arrived in La Guaira state, but I’m not sure if it has been distributed to any victims. The state was heavily militarized, The supplies they receive come from nonprofit organizations and organized groups of civilian volunteers. Even at a well-known relief center, the military seized the volunteers' gathered aid and resold the medicine to victims, preventing them from leaving. Essentially, it became a detention center for those rescued from La Guaira state. It’s difficult to explain everything in depth since Venezuela is an extremely corrupt country. I understand about the bodies. There are still some areas with survivors, even after all this time—they pulled people out alive yesterday. The tragedy is even greater because years of embezzlement and corruption have left the country without proper infrastructure or protocols. There’s no seismological center, and our rescue workers lack the tools and systems necessary to organize relief efforts. Even more lives are being lost. I imagine that many have also died because of rhabdomyolysis.
[7/6/2026 10:10 PM] Loanpro: Although I have seen some of the humanitarian aid from other countries—I can't speak to food or medicine—I have noticed American tents for the victims, among many other things that have been distributed. But I don't know exactly how much has been distributed. cont...
