Summary
A 43-year-old security guard was rescued Thursday from a collapsed shopping center in Venezuela after surviving eight days under the rubble.
The man had been trapped since back-to-back earthquakes brought down the building and killed more than 2,200 people across the disaster zone.
The rescue stands out as a rare late survival find more than a week after the quakes, underscoring both the scale of the collapse and the persistence of search efforts.
With thousands dead and many families displaced, the disaster is shifting from emergency rescue toward a long recovery and rebuilding phase.
