11-year-old boy rescued alive from Venezuelan earthquake rubble

An 11-year-old boy has been miraculously rescued alive from earthquake debris in Venezuela, more than three days after powerful tremors devastated parts of the country. The successful rescue operation took place in Caraballeda, a coastal town north of Caracas that suffered severe damage. "Minutes ago, an 11-year-old boy was rescued alive in Caraballeda," announced Interim President Delcy Rodriguez via the platform X, sharing video footage of the operation. "At this moment, every life saved is a source of hope for Venezuela." This event brings a moment of profound relief as rescue teams continue their search amidst the ruins. Earlier, a baby was also found alive in La Guaira, offering further hope. However, the overall situation remains dire, with the death toll climbing to 1,430 and hopes fading for finding more survivors after three days. Tens of thousands are reported missing, and many buildings have collapsed in cities already grappling with economic crisis and political turmoil. Critics have voiced concerns about the government's response, with some volunteers facing bureaucratic hurdles in accessing disaster zones. "Imagine, you even need a permit to save a life," one volunteer expressed frustration over the delays.
