Death toll rises as rescue teams race against time in Venezuela earthquakes
Boy rescued alive three days after Venezuela earthquakes as death toll rises
Rescue teams from nine countries scramble as Venezuelas twin quakes death toll rises to 920
A 11-year-old boy was pulled alive from the rubble in Caraballeda on Sunday, three days after Venezuela’s twin earthquakes, as rescue teams raced against time with the confirmed death toll rising to 1,430 and more than 68,000 people still missing. The boy’s survival, announced by acting President Delcy Rodríguez, was hailed as “a source of hope for a country devastated by tragedy” . Hours earlier, Spanish troops and Colombian rescuers had also freed a nine-month-old baby and his mother after 32 hours trapped beneath collapsed buildings in Caracas .
International reinforcements have flooded in, with over 1,600 foreign rescue workers arriving on 17 flights and 25 more expected, yet frustration is mounting over the government’s response. In La Guaira, civilians and rescuers dug with shovels and bare hands as authorities faced criticism for being underprepared for the scale of destruction . The United States has pledged $150 million in assistance and deployed three specialised urban search-and-rescue teams, framing the aid as a test of Washington’s new Western Hemisphere policy .
The disaster has left 1.8 million people, including 680,000 children, in need of humanitarian aid, according to Unicef, while the United Nations estimates direct physical damage at $6.7 billion . A fresh 4.8-magnitude aftershock struck offshore on Saturday, complicating operations as authorities reported 3,200 injured and 430 aftershocks since Wednesday’s quakes . Médecins Sans Frontières described La Guaira as resembling a war zone, underscoring the scale of the emergency .
With the critical 72-hour rescue window closing, hopes of finding more survivors are fading, yet small miracles continue to emerge. Rodríguez’s announcement of the boy’s rescue came as satellite imagery revealed the full extent of the devastation, with entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble . The crisis has also drawn global condemnation of Venezuela’s chronic economic collapse and authoritarian drift, which have left the country ill-equipped to cope with such a catastrophe .
