Rescue teams in Venezuela pulled an 11-month-old infant alive from the rubble of a collapsed building three days after a powerful earthquake, offering a rare moment of relief amid mounting losses.
The child was recovered from the ruins in La Guaira, where crews have worked around the clock searching for survivors. The rescue drew emotional reactions from exhausted workers and survivors who had endured days of grim recoveries.
Survival after 72 hours under collapsed structures is uncommon, and rescuers said the recovery reinforced hopes that others might still be found. The disaster has displaced thousands and left many buildings reduced to debris along Venezuela’s coast.
