00:02International and Venezuelan rescue teams continued efforts on Wednesday to save a security guard trapped beneath a shopping mall following
00:09twin earthquakes that struck the country a week earlier.
00:13The trapped guard, identified as Hernán Alberto Gil, was found in the basement of the Gallerías Playa Grande Mall in
00:21Catia La Mar, La Guayra, one of the areas hardest hit by the quakes.
00:25As long as the days passed, we had access to him and able to give him water, a labor that
00:32took almost three days to give him the first water.
00:36At night, at about 10 o'clock, we had physical contact with Hernán.
00:45We hope that, in an average of 24 hours or less, we can send Hernán to his family and with
00:55the definitive medical attention, he can leave and have a productive life with all the brothers of this beautiful country.
01:03The high-risk rescue operation has drawn teams from several countries, including Mexico, Portugal, El Salvador, Spain and the United
01:11States, to help free the trapped guard safely.
01:14The 44-year-old remains trapped about 9 meters underground, with rescuers hoping to complete the operation within the next
01:2124 hours.

01:31displaced.
