Rescuers Find 11-Year-Old Six Days After Venezuela Earthquakes; Death Toll Exceeds 1,400

An 11-year-old boy was pulled alive from three meters of rubble in La Guaira on June 28, after Colombian rescuers spent six hours excavating him. He was among 33 survivors recovered from collapsed buildings. The earthquakes that hit Venezuela's northern coast have killed over 1,400, with thousands still missing. Rescues this far after the quakes—typically halted after 72 hours—shift the odds for those unaccounted for.
