More than 10 days after devastating earthquakes struck Venezuela, anger is growing over the government's relief response. Speaking to DW News, journalist Noris Soto says many Venezuelans feel "frustrated" and "abandoned," and have accused authorities and the military of failing to provide timely assistance in the crucial first days after the disaster.
Acting President Delcy Rodriguez has rejected claims of a slow response, as public debate intensifies over leadership, aid efforts, and the state's role during the crisis.
