Aunt says she will bring “mother’s warmth” after rescuing Venezuelan boy from rubble

Aunt of two-year-old Kleiber Moran, a Venezuelan boy who is pulled from rubble after an earthquake, tells the BBC she plans to care for him as if he had his mother’s presence. The BBC reports that Kleiber is rescued on Wednesday, six days after last week’s deadly earthquakes, following a search effort that reaches him in the aftermath of the quake damage. In an interview, his aunt says she will provide the warmth and comfort he needs, describing it as “mother’s warmth.” The reporting focuses on his recovery and the family’s efforts to ensure he can heal after being trapped for several days. The sources agree on the timing of the rescue—Wednesday—and the fact that it occurs roughly a week after the earthquakes that caused widespread destruction and fatalities. The accounts also align on the central detail that the aunt is speaking to the BBC about her intention to raise or care for the child and support him after the disaster.
