CARACAS: A three-year-old boy was rescued from the rubble in Caracas on Tuesday, a Jordanian rescue team said, six days after twin earthquakes hit Venezuela, killing almost 2,000 people. Video footage showed rescue workers cheering upon discovering the child, who had miraculously survived. The boy received first aid and was immediately taken to hospital, the Jordanian civil defense said in a statement. In other footage, rescue workers wiped the boy’s face with tissues and tucked him in with a blanket in an ambulance.

Videos are emerging of survivors rescued from collapsed buildings as Venezuelans race against the clock to save those caught in quakes that struck last week.

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.
