Toddler Rescued After Six Days Post-Venezuela Earthquake

A three-year-old toddler was successfully rescued alive after being trapped for six days under rubble following a significant earthquake in Venezuela. The earthquake, which struck on June 24 with a magnitude of 7.2, has resulted in nearly 2,000 confirmed deaths and left approximately 10,000 people without adequate shelter.

The UN reports that 6,400 individuals have been rescued so far, with ongoing efforts by international search and rescue teams in La Guaira to assess needs. The UN's humanitarian response includes a shipment of 47 tons of supplies from UNICEF, aimed at supporting 100,000 children and families over three months.

The total damage includes 1,000 buildings, 400 schools, and significant impacts on water systems. UNICEF estimates that $52 million is required for the emergency response, part of a broader $137.6 million humanitarian action appeal for children in Venezuela.
