Rescue efforts continue, but hopes of finding earthquake survivors fade in Venezuela

—
Hopes faded that more people will be found alive in Venezuela, six days after earthquakes slammed the country.
The government's official death toll is 1,900, though that is believed to be a vast undercount.
By one estimate, 50,000 people remain missing, and 60,000 buildings may have collapsed across the northern coast.
