A country club in Caraballeda, Venezuela, has been converted into a temporary hospital for earthquake survivors.

In the town of Caraballeda, La Guaira state, a country club has been transformed into a makeshift hospital.

Helicopters carrying aid have landed at the improvised facility, and those who lost their homes are receiving food, water, and clothing. Caraballeda is one of the most affected regions. BBC Mundo's Norberto Paredes reports from inside the country club.
