A newborn baby has been rescued from a fallen building 32 hours after the twin earthquakes that devastated a Venezuelan coastal city.Video shared on social media Friday shows rescuers working under a floodlight atop collapsed masonry and bringing the infant out to applause late Friday in the hardest-hit city of La Guaira, north of the capital Caracas.They carefully pass the baby, wrapped in a quilt, from person to person before cleaning the child gently with tissues, the video shows.According to the user, Andreina Quintero, who published the video on social media, the baby was just 18 days old and was uninjured after being trapped for 32 hours. The child’s mother, was rescued an hour after the child.In a follow-up video later on Friday, Quintero showed the mother in a hospital bed, with a medical worker telling her that the baby did not appear to have injuries.The medic then suggests that the mother saved the baby by covering the child with her body or another object.At least 920 people were killed by back-to-back earthquakes on Wednesday of magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5, with tens of thousands reported missing as international rescue teams boosted a desperate and slow-moving search for survivors.Leader jeeredCaracas residents jeered interim leader Delcy Rodriguez during her visit to a devastated neighbourhood, as fury over the perceived lack of an official response mounted.United Nations aid chief Tom Fletcher told AFP that more than 50,000 people were missing after two powerful earthquakes struck within a minute of each other on Wednesday evening, flattening buildings in the north of the country.La Guaira was the worst hit, with one building after another crumpled by the quakes.Access to the disaster zone was restricted from 8pm on Friday, Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello announced in a televised address.A rescue team from Chile arrived at one residential complex in La Guaira made up of four tall buildings housing hundreds of apartments that had largely been reduced to rubble.“Unfortunately, the collapse is total, and there is little chance of finding survivors. Efforts are now focused on recovering the bodies of the deceased,” team leader Nadiomar Polanco said at the site, which resembles many others in the city.Elsewhere, family members, neighbours and volunteers used their bare hands to try to dig out survivors, bemoaning the lack of heavy machinery or official help to save those trapped alive.“I am looking for my little Gael … he was only five months old,” said an anguished Marjosly Salazar, 40, whose 16-year-old daughter died in the quake. The baby and Salazar’s cousin are both missing.“Please, we need support here. We need machinery to start lifting the columns,” she said. “We haven’t seen any government officials here, none at all.” In an upscale Caracas neighbourhood, Rodriguez was greeted with angry chants from a crowd of people whose loved ones were trapped under the debris.“The government isn’t doing anything for the people,” they yelled from behind cordons next to a pulverised building.‘Very complex’AFP saw workers using sledgehammers to break through detritus, calling for “absolute silence” to detect cries from survivors.“It’s a very, very complex emergency response,” the UN’s Fletcher told AFP, warning the death toll could rise significantly.Aftershocks and destroyed buildings still posed significant dangers. Venezuela’s worst earthquake in more than a century has come after the oil-rich country endured more than a decade of economic collapse.The crisis has hollowed out hospitals and public services, driving millions to leave the country.The country is still in a fragile transition six months after the United States ousted leader Nicolas Maduro.Help arrivesThe UN humanitarian agency OCHA said search and rescue teams from at least 17 countries were being mobilised to help find survivors.Spanish, Salvadoran, Swiss, Colombian and Mexican rescue teams were already on the ground.Rodriguez said Friday she had received a call from US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio who “reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the response efforts by sending rescue workers, specialist equipment, support for temporary shelters and humanitarian aid for the affected families”. The United States said earlier it was sending a disaster response team of more than 250 personnel, including three special search-and-rescue units with dogs trained to locate people trapped beneath the rubble.A senior US military official landed in Caracas to oversee Washington’s relief efforts.“Even before the earthquakes, millions of people across Venezuela were facing food insecurity, collapsing health services, protection risks, and limited access to basic services,” the UN and other aid agencies said in a statement Friday.“The international community must not allow this emergency to deepen into a larger human tragedy.” Earthquakes of similar magnitude claimed more than 200,000 lives in Haiti in January 2010 and 73,000 lives in Kashmir in October 2005.Foreigners killedThose killed included 28 Portuguese nationals, five Spaniards, two Brazilians, seven Chinese nationals, one Chilean and one Italian-Venezuelan. Eighty-five Portuguese nationals and 119 Spaniards were missing or otherwise unaccounted for, according to their respective governments.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said it was possible Australians could be caught up in the deadly earthquakes but “it’s not yet clear”.“Given the numbers impacted, it’s certainly possible that Australians are caught up in it,” Mr Albanese told ABC News Breakfast on Friday morning.The quakes were the most powerful to hit Venezuela since a 7.7-magnitude tremor struck offshore in 1900.Venezuela’s northern coast sits on a boundary between the Caribbean and South American tectonic plates, but had not experienced a major quake since 1997.Minutes of silence preceded Friday’s World Cup 2026 matches to honour the victims of the tragedy.
