Ca mau: Vietnamese military and police rescue personnel pushed ahead with search and rescue operations in Playa Grande, La Guaira state: the hardest-hit area in Venezuela's devastating twin earthquakes, on July 1 (local time). The mountainous coastal area, where many multi-storey buildings built on steep slopes collapsed, remains one of the most challenging search sites.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the Vietnamese teams identified 16 locations where victims were believed to be trapped on July 1. Rescue personnel searched nine of the sites and recovered victims' bodies, bringing the total number of victims found by the Vietnamese contingent to 23 after two days of operations. The remaining seven locations were handed over to local authorities for further search efforts.
