Teen among 1,500 still missing weeks on from Venezuela earthquakes
- The family of 18-year-old Andrés Molina are conducting their own search for him 10 weeks after two devastating earthquakes struck Venezuela on 24 June.
- Andrés went missing in La Guaira after the double quakes destroyed his 10-storey apartment building, in which his mother and brother were killed.
- Despite official government figures recording 1,500 missing and 6,500 dead, independent estimates suggest tens of thousands remain unaccounted for.
- Unconfirmed sightings by local residents and police suggest Andrés survived with a head injury and has been wandering the area collecting scrap metal.
- His relatives have pledged to continue searching independently due to a complete lack of support from Venezuelan authorities.
