Venezuela<\/strong>.- A 43-year-old citizen was rescued alive in Catia La Mar, La Guaira state (Venezuela), after remaining trapped for eight days under the rubble of a building affected by the earthquakes recorded on June 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man, identified as Hern\u00e1n Gil, was found in the basement of the building where he worked as a security guard, specifically in a security booth that ended up covered by tons of rubble after the structure collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rescue was achieved amidst an operation that involved national and international teams and spanned several days of continuous work, under complex conditions due to the magnitude of the collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports from authorities and emergency teams, search and rescue efforts extended for more than 100 hours, with the participation of approximately one hundred rescuers from different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teams from Chile, the United States, Portugal, Mexico, Costa Rica, Venezuela, and El Salvador participated in the operation, working in a coordinated manner on debris removal and the stabilization of the affected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact with Hern\u00e1n Gil was achieved days before the final rescue, which allowed for guiding the efforts and maintaining constant communication with him during the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emergency teams provided hydration and basic assistance while extraction<\/a> efforts were underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to rescue workers’ reports, the man managed to survive because the security booth he was in partially withstood the building’s collapse, creating a small space that allowed him to stay alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place where he was trapped was located in the basement of a shopping center in Catia La Mar, which was severely affected by the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes recorded on June 24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
