In a scene that seemed closer to a miracle, three people emerged alive from the rubble of a collapsed building in Venezuela, after spending a full 28 days trapped in the darkness of debris, following the devastating earthquakes that struck the country last June.
Rescue teams managed to reach the three survivors inside a room that remained intact beneath the collapsed building, where they unexpectedly found supplies of food and water that helped them survive throughout this long period, according to Venezuelan media reports.
After being extracted from the site of the incident, the survivors received urgent medical and psychological care, while videos documented the moments of their rescue amid the cheers and applause of onlookers who followed the rescue operation in an emotional scene.
The rescue operation comes at a time when Venezuela is still facing the aftermath of the disaster, as the death toll from the earthquakes has exceeded 5,390, while authorities have announced that more than 10,000 people are still missing.
Two earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale struck northern Venezuela on June 24, leading to the collapse of hundreds of buildings in the capital Caracas and the neighboring coastal state of La Guaira, resulting in widespread human and material losses.
