A 3-year-old child was rescued alive from under the rubble six days after an earthquake in Venezuela.
Rescuers from Jordan pulled the child out from under the rubble, and 3-year-old Kliber Moran is currently being treated in a hospital.
Following the two devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela last week, a child was pulled alive from the rubble early this morning during ongoing search and rescue operations. Reuters reported this here.
Acting President Delcy Rodríguez announced on Telegram that a child named Kléber Morán was rescued by rescuers from Jordan after spending six days under the rubble of the Los Corales Garden 1 residential complex in La Guaira state.
According to official data, two earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5 occurred in Venezuela last Wednesday, less than a minute apart. As a result of the natural disaster, many buildings collapsed, leaving thousands of people trapped under the rubble.
Delcy Rodríguez referred to the child as being 3 years old, while National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez stated he was 2 years old. After being rescued, the child was taken to a medical facility.
"We must not lose hope of finding more living people under the rubble. Early this morning, a 2-year-old child was rescued and is now being treated at a medical center in Caracas," said Jorge Rodríguez in a televised address.
Additionally, UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric reported that 47 tons of humanitarian aid sent by UNICEF arrived in Venezuela on Tuesday.
The shipment included emergency medical kits, supplies for safe childbirth, newborn care, and essential tools for disease prevention and treatment.
