AVenezuelan family residing in Lanzarote for nineteen years urgently requests specialized human resources and machinery to be able to find Carlos Javier Murgas Hernández, who disappeared in La Guaira after the building where he was located collapsed due to the strong earthquakes that shook Venezuela this Thursday.
His three daughters and wife, Adriana Cuneo, have not had news of Carlos Javier for more than 24 hours after the ten-story building in which he was staying collapsed after traveling for work to the country. At the time of the seismic events, Murgas was on the ninth floor. "A few hours before the earthquakes, my eldest daughter spoke with him," she tells La Voz.
This building, called Breña Sol, was located in the Caribe Urbanization, right behind a McDonald´s establishment in Caraballeda. The family has disseminated this information on social media to locate Carlos Javier and has provided the following phone number in case anyone has news of him: 0414 125 4497.
The hours pass and his family, who have heard nothing from him so far, desperately asks for help to lift the debris and search for the missing. "The situation is horrible, we need machinery and people because there is nothing, it is very heavy debris because it is a building that collapsed," she recounts.
In fact, according to Cuneo, it is the neighbors themselves who are searching among the remains of the buildings to rescue survivors because "there is no qualified personnel." The rest of the family living in Venezuela is fortunately well.
The Government of Venezuela puts the confirmed victims of the double earthquake at 235 dead and 4,300 injured so far.
