A month after two powerful earthquakes hit Venezuela on 24 June, some are still sleeping next to the rubble, despite the intense smell of decomposing bodies. I arrived in La Guaira four days after the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes shook northern Venezuela. Around 23,587 survivors are housed in more than 100 camps across La Guaira, the capital city of Caracas, and the states of Miranda and Aragua, according to official figures. Across the main avenue running through La Guaira, dozens of forensic officials dressed in protective white suits and blue gowns work to identify bodies. There is still no official figure for the missing, although a website set up to help people find loved ones puts the number at 41,000.
