A powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Venezuela on Wednesday evening. Terrifying videos shared on social media showed buildings collapsing, power starting to flicker, and streets turning into chaos

Videos capture some of the harrowing recoveries and frantic, ongoing rescue attempts, as international response efforts near one week.

Acting President Delcy Rodríguez said the desperate search would continue as officials warned the death toll would likely climb.

A race against time is unfolding to rescue those trapped under the rubble following the twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on Wednesday.
