Around midnight on Saturday, June 28, Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, reported that a minor was rescued alive in the city of Caraballeda, in La Guaira state, the area most affected by the two earthquakes that struck the country last Wednesday.
“A few minutes ago, an 11-year-old boy was rescued alive in Caraballeda. In these hours, every life is hope for Venezuela,” the interim president wrote on her social media accounts.
The video accompanying Rodríguez’s message shows members of the Mexican Army participating in the boy’s rescue. They had been deployed to the South American country to assist in the rescue efforts for survivors of the devastating earthquakes.
