Rescuers in Venezuela pull two boys from earthquake rubble after they have been trapped for several days, according to reports from multiple outlets. The BBC says the rescue teams spend about six hours digging carefully to reach one of the boys. After rescuers make contact, they work to extract him from the debris while residents continue searching through collapsed structures by hand, waiting for heavier equipment to arrive. The reports describe ongoing efforts across affected areas as communities look for other survivors and assess damage. While details beyond the rescue are limited in the provided extracts, the accounts agree that the rescue depends on painstaking excavation, and that the broader response is still constrained by the slow arrival of heavy machinery. The successful rescue highlights both the dangers faced by people trapped in rubble and the reliance on manual search methods when equipment is not yet available.
