A father and his child were rescued from the rubble in Venezuela more than four days after the devastating earthquake, according to a report by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) on Monday morning. The report, citing Venezuelan sources, said they were pulled out alive but did not specify their condition or location.
This is the latest in a series of rescues from the aftermath of the twin earthquakes that struck on Thursday, June 25. Over the weekend, an 11-year-old boy was rescued after three days, and earlier, US rescue teams pulled a baby from the rubble. The official death toll of 164, as previously reported by The Zioneer, has not been updated, while estimates of the missing remain unconfirmed with figures as high as 68,000 cited in some reports.
The rescue efforts continue as the country grapples with the scale of destruction, with the number of aftershocks reported at 20 in the days following the initial quakes.
