In Venezuela, ITV News has seen the remarkable efforts of survivors scrambling to dig out their loved ones and neighbours, often with their bare hands and rudimentary tools. But our team has also seen the failure of the Venezuelan government to get a grip on the crisis. Police officers have been caught looting ruined homes, officials have been slow in their reactions, aid agencies have been bogged down in red tape, and soldiers have been deployed to manage traffic, not dig out survivors. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
