About this episode
Six days after catastrophic twin earthquakes hit Venezuela, the country's death toll has risen to almost 1,500 – but the actual number is expected to be much higher as nearly 50,000 people are reported missing. Ana Vanessa Herrero, a journalist in Caracas, reports on the situation on the ground, and the rising anger at officials for not doing enough. And we talk to Fanny Villarte-Croce, a Venezuelan-Canadian, who shares what she is doing here in Canada to help.
