The Caracas Fire Department has found several dogs trapped in the rubble after back-to-back earthquakes devastated parts of Venezuela. At least 589 people have been killed by the magnitude-7.5 and magnitude-7.2 quakes. Over 4,300 people have been injured, and many more remain missing. They are the strongest earthquakes to shake the South American nation in decades. First responders and neighbors have rushed to help survivors out of the rubble, but in many parts of the state, heavy machinery is scarce, leaving volunteers to rely on whatever tools they could find to carve through concrete.
