A dramatic rescue unfolded in Venezuela after twin earthquakes devastated the region, killing hundreds and leaving thousands missing. A rescue team from El Salvador pulled a small dog named Giselle from the rubble in Caraballeda, La Guaira, five days after the disaster. The heartwarming moment was captured on video, showing the dog licking her rescuer’s face as onlookers applauded. This rescue was one of several miraculous recoveries, including an 18-day-old baby and his mother, and a mother with her 9-month-old baby, all found alive under collapsed buildings. Meanwhile, international teams, including those from the U.S. and El Salvador, are working tirelessly to rescue Hernán Gil Flores, a security guard trapped for six days under a partially collapsed building. The earthquakes, measuring 7.5 and 7.2 in magnitude, struck on June 24, resulting in a death toll exceeding 1,900. The ongoing rescue efforts highlight the resilience and hope amid the tragedy.
