Dog Rescue Mission
A trapped dog has been pulled from the wreckage in Venezuela, after two powerful earthquakes left rescue teams digging through collapsed buildings in a desperate search for life.
Footage shows firefighters and volunteers working through the rubble of a collapsed structure to reach a dog trapped beneath the debris.
At one point, a firefighter is seen giving the animal water as the team edges closer.
“Come on, buddy, we’re going to get you out,” he can be heard saying.
Search Efforts Continue
The rescue has been shared widely online as a small moment of hope in a disaster that has left at least 188 people dead, 1,520 injured, and around 157 missing, according to reported figures.
Search and rescue operations are continuing as teams race to find survivors under collapsed buildings.
A magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck at 18:04 local time on Wednesday, around 23 kilometres southeast of Yumare in northern Venezuela, followed 39 seconds later by a magnitude 7.5 quake 28 kilometres southeast of Yumare.
