New footage circulating from Venezuela on Thursday morning (07:06 Jerusalem) documents collapsed buildings and extensive damage, with many people still trapped under the rubble, according to reports. The images add to a growing body of visual evidence emerging after the powerful earthquake sequence that struck the country early Thursday. As The Zioneer reported, building collapses were first documented in Caracas after a magnitude 7.1 quake, followed by a series of powerful temblors that prompted a state of emergency. Rescue operations continue in several affected cities, including the hard-hit port of La Guaira, where emergency crews are sifting through debris and pulling survivors from the wreckage.
