Rescuers in Venezuela have pulled a young boy and his father alive from rubble in La Guaira, four days after powerful earthquakes struck the South American nation.

International teams continue their search through collapsed buildings in the hardest-hit coastal region near Caracas.

But local residents have said aid is insufficient, with families forced to dig through debris themselves.

Relatives of the missing warn time is running out as hopes of finding more survivors fade.
