Following devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, rescue teams have pulled a three-year-old child from the rubble after six days, while the official death toll continues to rise toward 2,000 victims. <\/p>\n
Footage released by media outlets shows rescuers cheering after pulling a three-year-old boy, identified by Venezuelan authorities as Klieber Moran, from the debris. The child was immediately transported to a hospital.<\/p>\n
BBC Mundo described the survival of the boy six days after the cataclysm as a miracle. Meanwhile, the UN coordinator in Venezuela, Gianluca Rampolla, confirmed that the organization has coordinated the delivery of 10,000 body bags to authorities.<\/p>\n
Rescue teams from several countries spent days attempting to save 40-year-old Hernan Gil, who was trapped under a collapsed shopping center. Despite establishing visual contact, rescue crews were ultimately unable to extract him.<\/p>\n
Rescue attempts also ended in tragedy in the town of Macuto, La Guaira state. Teams from Ecuador and the USA ceased operations at a collapsed nine-story building after more than 40 hours when signs of life from a trapped mother and her three children vanished.<\/p>\n
Six days after the disaster, criticism of the Venezuelan government’s response is mounting. Francisco Lermanda, who led a Chilean rescue team, reported that Venezuelan soldiers hindered rescue operations due to fears of espionage directed against the regime in Caracas.<\/p>\n
Lermanda also observed that multi-story buildings in La Guaira collapsed like dominoes, suggesting that the unprecedented scale of destruction could be linked to corruption in building plan approvals.<\/p>\n
The death toll from last week\u2019s double earthquake has risen to 1,943, with over 10,500 people injured. Parliament speaker Jorge Rodriguez reported that 6,461 people have been rescued so far, including a two-year-old child saved on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
NASA satellite imagery from June 24 indicates that nearly 59,000 buildings have been damaged or destroyed, primarily in La Guaira. In contrast, officials in Caracas reported only 855 damaged structures, of which 189 collapsed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
