#Venezuela #Earthquake #LaGuaira
A dramatic rescue has brought hope to earthquake-ravaged Venezuela after a 12-year-old child was pulled alive from the rubble in La Guaira, five days after the devastating twin earthquakes. Footage released by the Quito Fire Department shows rescuers drilling through debris before carrying the child to safety. Meanwhile, new drone footage from Caraballeda reveals the catastrophic destruction of the Chávez-era Misión Vivienda housing complex, where entire apartment blocks have collapsed. The earthquakes have killed more than 1,700 people, injured over 5,000 and left widespread devastation, as international rescue teams continue searching for survivors across the hardest-hit areas.
