Military personnel, firefighters and volunteers joined the search in the coastal city, where emergency crews recovered the bodies of siblings Leyder Rojas, aged three, and Leymar Rojas, aged 10, while another child from the same family was pulled out alive.
Officials said inspections at the country’s main international airport were slowing relief efforts, adding to the strain on emergency operations. Hundreds of people were still feared trapped beneath destroyed buildings, while relatives gathered at rescue sites as ambulances transported survivors to hospital.
