Miracle moment US rescuers pull baby, mom from rubble after Venezuela quakes: ‘Hope endures’ nt

US rescuers miraculously pulled a 9-month-old baby and her mom from the rubble of a collapsed building in Venezuela on Saturday after quakes there killed more than 1,400 people, harrowing video shows.

“Against impossible odds, hope endures,” the State Department wrote on X.
Footage from the rescue effort in one of the devastated country’s many destroyed neighborhoods showed the Virginia Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 1 working quickly to save survivors from the collapsed building.

One of the survivors was a baby who could be heard crying as the emergency crew carefully pulled her out of the rubble and took her to safety.
“American search and rescue teams rescued an infant from beneath the rubble following the earthquake in Venezuela. Every life saved is a victory,” the US State Department said in its post.

The rescue team said both the baby and her mother, who was pulled out on a stretcher, only sustained minor injuries in Wednesday’s disaster.
