The International Rescue Committee, also known as IRC, said the chances of survival for the tens of thousands still missing are shrinking dramatically after two days of the critical 72-hour survival period. After that period, the chances of survival decrease sharply.

The group said in a statement on Tuesday that “the scale of the response does not meet the scale of humanitarian needs.”

The government of acting President Delcy Rodriguez says at least 1,943 people have died and thousands have been injured. About 16,000 people became homeless.

A website promoted by the country’s political opposition estimates the number of missing people at about 43,000 people.

At a makeshift morgue in the devastated La Guaira, in what is usually considered the state’s main port, Andrea Montilla sat on a plastic chair waiting for family members who were inside to formally identify the remains of her cousin and his grandmother.

The 14-year-old cousin was found under the rubble of an apartment building overnight, Montilla said.

“It was very painful, the wait was very long,” she said, adding that her cousin’s mother was still missing.

Empty coffins were stacked throughout the harbor and bodies were placed along the concrete in body bags.

An official at the site, who was not authorized to speak to the press, told Reuters they were from La Guaira and had lost several family members in the earthquakes, adding that they had no estimate of how many bodies had already been delivered to families or how many were waiting to be identified.

Jordanian emergency workers rescued a child early Tuesday, the only survivor reported on the sixth day of rescue efforts, according to Venezuelan authorities.
