Four survivors were dramatically rescued 11 days after a series of earthquakes struck Venezuela, the local newspaper El Nacional reported on the 6th (local time).

According to the report, rescue authorities pulled the four survivors from the rubble of a building in the Caraballeda area of La Guaira state around 9:00 p.m. on the 5th.

This dramatic rescue occurred 267 hours after the earthquake struck—nearly four times the 72-hour "golden time" typically considered the limit for survival in disaster medicine.

The survivors, identified as one young man, one young woman, and two children, received emergency medical treatment at the scene before being rushed to a hospital by ambulance.

Footage of the rescue, which circulated on social media, captured tense voices urging the survivors to stay calm and warning them not to move as the rescue team searched for a safe way to extract them.

Despite this dramatic rescue, the number of casualties continues to rise.

According to the Venezuelan government, the series of earthquakes has left at least 3,342 people dead and 16,700 injured.

The earthquakes struck six northern states, including the capital, Caracas, with the coastal state of La Guaira suffering the most severe damage.
