EL JUNQUITO: Frustration is rising across Venezuela over a lack of relief and coordinated province response in areas struck by deadly twin earthquakes last Wednesday, locals in some hard-hit towns stated on Monday.
In El Junquito, a small mountainous zone about 33 km (20 miles) west of Caracas where Venezuelans often vacation on weekends, locals say they have seen few general representatives, while farmers and other locals have been providing basic supplies to the community.
"We are waiting for answers, for debris to be cleaned up, for inspections, for individuals who have been really affected to be helped," stated Keily Ibarra, a 33-year-old manicurist leading citizen complaints to representatives. She called on the province to do "what needs to be done."
El Junquito's commercial centre was largely destroyed by the quakes, with collapsed buildings visible during a Reuters visit. Several locals with nowhere else to go have set up tents in an open field, despite the risk posed by damaged and collapsed buildings nearby.
