(2 hours ago)Two 11-year-old boys have been saved separately from the ruins of collapsed buildings within hours of each other, following powerful earthquakes that hit Venezuela.
The first son's motion pictures, identified as Moises, show the moment he is removed from the twisted ruins. His eyes were covered against the bright light of the sun, while his rescue teams received him with applause, writes BBC.
Just hours later, interim President Delcy Rodriguez announced that another 11-year-old boy had been saved. She published on the X platform a video where he is seen being transported by stretchers down a large heap of ruins.
Since earthquakes with magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 that hit the country Wednesday, authorities have confirmed at least 1,430 casualties, while tens of thousands continue to result in extinction.
More than 85 hours have already passed since the first quake, but the search-saving teams have not lost hope. According to them, people are still alive under the rubble, especially if they had access to food and water. /Periscope
