Venezuela receives another 1,000 foreign rescuers to help in the search for survivors Venezuela has received about a thousand new foreign rescuers to reinforce search and rescue operations after earthquakes devastated regions of the country. Nearly 100 hours after the tremors, teams from over 20 countries are working to find survivors under the rubble. According to the United Nations, the number of mobilized international professionals rose from 1,600 to over 2,600 this Sunday (28). According to the Venezuelan government, 27 countries are participating in humanitarian aid efforts, including nations that currently do not maintain diplomatic relations with Caracas, such as Paraguay and Peru. Over the weekend, 33 people were pulled alive from the rubble. Among them, a nine-month-old baby and his mother, rescued with the support of rescuers from the United States. In La Guayra, one of the hardest-hit cities, a father and son were also found alive during a joint operation by American and French teams. Watch in the video above.
