Father and son rescued after four days buried under rubble of Venezuela’s earthquakes

LA GUAIRA, Venezuela: A father and his son were pulled out alive from the rubble of a collapsed building on Sunday, four days ​after the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela.

It was a scene that gavehope to the French and US rescue workers active in the area as they race against the clock to find more survivors.

Rescue workers carried the pair, visibly weakened and both wearing masks, on improvised fabric stretchers through debris-strewn streets to a waiting ‌ambulance, as a ‌crowd gathered around the emergency ​vehicles ‌in ⁠La Guaira.

The ​coastal state ⁠was hardest hit by the earthquakes on Wednesday that left at least 1,450 dead and thousands missing.
