A 44-year-old man was rescued from the collapsed parking lot of a shopping center in Venezuela, eight days after the devastating earthquakes struck the country, according to a report by N12. Hernan Alberto Gil Flores was extricated in a complex operation involving local and international rescue teams.
The Zioneer reported earlier today (at 16:50) that a man had been rescued from the rubble of a collapsed building in Venezuela eight days after the earthquake, based on video footage circulating on social media. A subsequent report from N12, published at 17:17, identifies the survivor as Hernan Alberto Gil Flores, 44, and provides additional details: he was rescued from the collapsed parking lot of a shopping center in a complex operation involving local and international rescue teams.
The rescue is the latest in a series of successful extrications following the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 25. The Zioneer has previously reported on the rescue of an 11-year-old boy, a father and child, and a woman, among others. The number of missing was previously estimated in the tens of thousands.
The N12 report corroborates the earlier video evidence and adds the survivor's identity and specific rescue location. The survivor's condition has not yet been reported.
