A CICPC officer was walking among the rubble in La Guaira when he found her: a mother, holding her two children, aged 5 and 7. None survived.

Something in him broke right there. It was not just an ordinary fainting spell; it was an emotional shock that forced Civil Protection, the Red Cross, and medical teams to intervene immediately, in the middle of a rescue operation in Vargas state.

Behind every body removed from the rubble is someone who had to face it first. La Guaira mourns its victims, but it also needs to support those searching for them. Help, support, and prayer are what is needed now, for the families and for those who cannot stop seeing what they saw.
