Man, teen son rescued four days after Venezuela quakes
A man and his teenage son were pulled from the rubble on Sunday, nearly four days after twin earthquakes struck Venezuela, AFP journalists saw in Caraballeda, a coastal town devastated by the disaster.
American and French rescue teams carried the boy and his father down from a mountain of debris on stretchers, both of them visibly in shock and exhausted.
The teen, who was covered in dust, with blood on his right knee and his right hand bandaged, was brought out first.
His father was brought out afterwards, also covered in dust and wearing only a piece of cloth on his body.
A medical device was seen attached to his body.
Footage shows search and rescue workers pulling out a father and son from under the rubble of a collapsed building, four days after two deadly earthquakes hit Venezuela.
