Miracle Rescue Amid Venezuela’s Earthquake Crisis | Dublin News

In a heart-stopping 43-hour rescue in La Guaira, Venezuela, a 21-year-old man was pulled alive from rubble over 100 hours after a deadly earthquake — sparking cheers and hope amid widespread devastation. While the UN prepares 10,000 body bags for unexcavated ruins, seven survivors found Sunday defied the 72-hour survival limit, offering a flicker of optimism. Over 600 aftershocks, including a 4.6-magnitude tremor that halted Caracas’ subway, have compounded the crisis — experts warn crumbling buildings reveal deeper flaws in construction standards. International aid arrives in force: 2,000 rescuers and 160 search dogs from 27 nations. Venezuela’s government, under fire for its response, vows to ramp up efforts, launching commissions for shelters and safety reviews. Yet, limited heavy equipment and medical supplies slow progress, as thousands are displaced and volunteers scramble to deliver food, clothes, and care in makeshift camps.
