Two teenage brothers, Deivi Delfín, 15, and Winder, 17, fled Venezuela after a catastrophic earthquake that killed over 6,000 people. They relocated to Cali, Colombia, where their father works, seeking safety and stability.1
However, just three days after their arrival, they experienced another devastating tremor.
The earthquake struck at a depth of around 64 miles in Chocó province, causing widespread destruction and resulting in at least 95 fatalities as buildings collapsed in the city.45
The brothers had previously endured a harrowing experience in Venezuela, where their 12-storey apartment building in La Guaira was reduced to rubble, trapping family members inside.
“For the next month, the brothers desperately sifted through the wreckage in search of their loved ones,” a source reported. Deivi recognized a scrap of fabric as part of his grandmother’s skirt, leading to the recovery of her body.
Winder made a heartbreaking discovery when he found their mother, Yusmani, buried beneath concrete, alongside their ten-year-old sibling, Moisés.
The tremors from the latest quake were felt across a vast area, including Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, highlighting the region's vulnerability to seismic activity.
“Tremors were felt hundreds of miles away,” indicating the quake's intensity and reach.
