There are desperate scenes in Caracas as locals scream for help to lift loved ones from the rubble underneath collapsed buildings.
Tens of thousands of people are unaccounted for after last week's twin earthquakes, with the official death toll nearing 2000 people.
Aid agencies and the international community has rallied to provide support including access to sanitation, food and water.
But distressed loved ones of missing people have told SBS* that without timely help from the government and machinery, their loved ones who could be alive might be beyond saving.
"There's life here. While we wait, we could be saving them.
"Help us, do something. We want machinery, we want help to rescue our people."

In the United States, four adults have been charged after sixteen children were rescued from a filthy home in rural Ohio where officials say they were living in "deplorable conditions".
Authorities say the children, aged between one and eighteen, were living in a room barely bigger than a bedroom, surrounded by human waste.
Several have been taken to hospital, with some of the children unable to speak, and one eighteen-year-old unable to write her own name.
Vinton County prosecutor William Archer says the children are now in protective custody, and their parents are among those charged with felony child endangerment.
"This is an intra family situation. This is not human trafficking. There there is nothing to put our other children at risk. This is clearly involved a multi-generational family in a very limited situation."

A United Nations scientific panel has released its first global report on artificial intelligence.
The report, compiled by 40 experts, says AI could transform healthcare, hunger relief, education and climate action if used responsibly - but that the technology is advancing faster than governments can regulate it.
The report says power is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few companies and countries, with the United States controlling 75 per cent of computing power in the world’s largest AI clusters.
Canadian computer scientist and panel co-chair Yoshua Bengio says the gap between rapidly improving AI and effective risk management could have devastating consequences.
“Looking ahead, the gap between rapidly improving capabilities and effective risk management methods may lead to catastrophic outcomes. We've seen on our radar screen recently the issues with cybersecurity, but companies are worried about bio risks and many in civil society are showing that AI can lead to disinformation that can threaten our democracies and our individual rights.”

Online safety advocates and parents say they're shocked by the Greens and Coalition's decision to block laws that would tighten Australia's social media ban for under 16 year-olds.
The Greens say the new measures - including heftier fines for platforms that breach the policy - don't go far enough to protect children and young people.
Emma Mason's daughter Tilly died by suicide after a campaign of bullying via social media.
Ms Mason has told Channel 9's today show she is confused and upset by the delay to reforms, tabled after a report found 70 per cent of under 16s are finding ways around the policy.
"It's about the E Safety Commissioner being able to require more documents from third parties. These are companies that are involved in the age verification process. And at the moment she can not get that information. She is trying to prove, of course, that they're not complying, they're not doing everything that they can, that they're breaching our law."

In the World Cup,
Belgium has scored a last minute goal to win in stoppage time 3-2 against Senegal.
Senegal led 2-nil going into the second half, but Belgium came from behind with three late goals including from Romelo Lukaku and Youri Tielemans with a double - his second at the 125th minute.
Commentator; "And this astonishing tale, no, out and over, and it is over, from the brink - to the next round, Belgium squeeze through to the Round of 16."
Belgium now advances to the Round of 16 on July 7 to play either the US or Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Their opponent depends on which comes out better at today's game.
