Three-Year-Old Rescued Alive Six Days After Venezuela Earthquake

Rescue teams in Venezuela successfully pulled a three-year-old boy named Klayber Moran alive from the rubble of a collapsed building in La Guaira after six days of intense search efforts. The child, who survived beneath the debris for a full six days, was immediately transferred to a hospital in Caracas where his condition is reported as good.

The interim president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, described the rescue as a "source of hope for our people," while Jorge Rodriguez, president of the National Assembly, expressed optimism about continuing to find survivors under the rubble during a televised address. Experts consider the rescue extraordinary, as survival chances typically drop sharply after the first 72 hours following such disasters.

The earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude and occurring minutes apart, have caused nearly 1,943 deaths and over 10,000 injuries. According to NASA data, approximately 58,870 buildings were either destroyed or severely damaged. International teams remain active in scanning the affected areas amid a severe humanitarian crisis marked by critical shortages of food and medicine.
