Two 11-year-old boys have been separately pulled alive from the wreckage of collapsed buildings in Venezuela, days after powerful earthquakes struck the country. One boy, named Moises, was seen being extracted from the twisted debris, his eyes shielded from the sun, to the applause of rescue teams. Hours following Moises's rescue, interim President Delcy Rodríguez confirmed that a second 11-year-old had also been found and brought to safety. Both children had endured being trapped for several days following the significant seismic activity. These rescues provide a rare positive development amidst the widespread impact of the recent tremors. Sources: BBC News
