An 11-year-old boy was rescued from the rubble more than three days after twin earthquakes struck Venezuela, interim president Delcy Rodriguez said on Saturday.
"A few minutes ago an 11-year-old boy was rescued alive in Caraballeda. At this moment, every life is a source of hope for Venezuela," she said in a post on X, accompanied by a video of the rescue.
Rescue crews raced Saturday to find survivors in the rubble of Venezuela's powerful earthquakes as the death toll reached 1,430 and hopes dwindled more than three days after the earth roared and rumbled.
Tens of thousands of people were reported missing as collapsed buildings dotted cities in a country already enduring an economic crisis and political upheaval after US special forces captured authoritarian leader Nicolas Maduro in January.
Millions of people were also feared to lack sanitation and other basic needs.
