In the days after two powerful earthquakes hit northern Venezuela, rescue teams and local residents in La Guaira—one of the hardest-hit areas—had largely believed there was no one left to find under collapsed structures. The earthquakes, which occur on Wednesday, register as magnitude 7.2 and 7.5, and leave widespread destruction along the northern coast. Search efforts continue through rubble fields that look largely identical from one site to another. On Sunday, however, rescuers report a sudden sign of life at one location: a burst of movement is seen amid the debris. According to accounts from multiple outlets, a pair of dust-covered legs belonging to a person trapped in a hole is pulled out by rescue teams. The team conducting the rescue includes personnel from Virginia, France, and Venezuela, alongside civilian presence at the site. The reports describe the extraction as an unexpected break in days marked by tragedy, as teams had previously found no signs of survivors in the same area.
