A three-year-old boy is rescued from rubble in Venezuela six days after twin earthquakes hit the country, according to multiple reports. Video shared by outlets shows rescuers cheering as the child is pulled from debris in La Guaira state, with one outlet reporting the rescue took place in the Caracas area. A Jordanian rescue team is cited as announcing the discovery, saying the boy receives first aid at the scene. He is then taken immediately to hospital, where he is treated following the rescue.
The reports describe the moment as significant amid the continuing search for people affected by the quake. The earthquakes are reported to have killed nearly 2,000 people, with many others still unaccounted for. Footage across sources shows rescuers providing basic care during the operation, including wiping the boy’s face and covering him with a blanket before transporting him by ambulance. The child’s survival after several days is presented by the sources as an unexpected breakthrough in an ongoing disaster response.
