LA GUAIRA: Five days after powerful back-to-back quakes flattened entire neighborhoods of multi-story buildings in the coastal state of La Guaira, hopes of finding survivors are fading.
But a WhatsApp message ignited hopes of a miraculous find beneath the rubble, more than 120 hours after the disaster.
A woman wrote to the caretaker of a collapsed apartment building in Caraballeda, one of the worst-hit areas, about 40 kilometers from Caracas, to say she was still alive, a volunteer rescuer, Daniel Pino, said.
Also on Monday, a 21-year-old who was named as Aaron Levi was rescued in the nearby town of Tanaguarena.
