- Rescuers are racing to find remaining survivors beneath the rubble of Venezuela's twin earthquakes, in which at least 1,450 people are known to have been killed - with the number expected to rise.
- The 96-hour window during which survivors were most likely to be found passed on Sunday evening.
- But on the ground, teams are still hopeful of finding survivors and continue to conduct searches "to the same level of detail as on day one", search and rescue expert Lee Ivory tells the BBC.
