A Jordanian rescue squad successfully retrieved a three-year-old boy from collapsed structures in the Venezuelan state of La Guaira, nearly a week after powerful earthquakes struck the region. Interim President Delcy Rodríguez identified the child as Klieber Morán, hailing the event as a beacon of optimism for the affected population. Jordanian civil defense personnel confirmed that the toddler received immediate medical attention and was in stable condition at a facility in Caracas.
The recovery of the young boy follows two major tremors—measuring 7.2 and 7.5 on the magnitude scale—that have claimed 1,943 lives and left more than 10,000 injured. NASA satellite analysis estimates that nearly 59,000 buildings were severely compromised or destroyed. As the search continues past the critical three-day window, the United Nations reports that thousands of survivors remain in urgent need of basic resources, including food, shelter, and medical support. International aid, including a 47-tonne shipment of medical supplies, has begun to reach the country to alleviate the strain on an already overwhelmed health infrastructure.
