Family members have joined the search for nearly two dozen people reported missing after going on a religious retreat in Venezuela two weeks ago, civil protection authorities said Tuesday.

A member of Civil Protection and a dog, part of a group of rescuers, wait to leave in a search and rescue operation for members of a religious group who remain missing in San Cristobal, Tachira state, Venezuela on September 6, 2022. – At least 16 to twenty people have been missing for 15 days in the city of La Grita, western Venezuela (border with Colombia), after they left for an alleged “religious retreat” on a mountain, Civil Protection (PC) reported Monday, which will begin search efforts on Tuesday.

Between 16 and 20 people are believed to be missing, civil protection official Yesnardo Canal told AFP, though local media have reported it could be even more.

An eight-day-old baby and other children are part of the group.

They went missing after departing on August 22 for what officials described as a religious retreat in the town of La Grita in western Tachira province, but officials have provided no further details about the gathering.

More than 30 search and rescue specialists were looking for the missing people, helped by drones, sniffer dogs and locals from the mountainous area, officials said.

Family members have been brought in to join the search as they would be in a better position to identify their loved ones, said Canal.
