The death toll from two powerful earthquakes that struck northern Venezuela earlier this week has risen to 1,430, according to National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez. Over 3,200 people have been injured, and more than 3,100 remain homeless. Rescue teams continue searching for survivors after the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 quakes hit the region within minutes of each other. Authorities report that families have reported the disappearance of at least 68,900 people. In the heavily affected city of La Guaira, residents are manually digging through rubble to find those trapped. The United Nations estimates material damage at $6.7 billion, equivalent to six percent of Venezuela’s GDP. More than 14,000 military and police personnel have been deployed to affected areas, which are accessible only with special permits. International rescue teams from Mexico, the US, Brazil, El Salvador, and France have arrived, though some faced delays due to damaged infrastructure. Survivors remain fearful and many are reluctant to return to their destroyed homes. Among the dead are foreign nationals including Portuguese, Chinese, Brazilian, Spanish, and Italian-Venezuelan citizens.
U nedjelju, na Ramskom jezeru, desila se tragična nesreća koja je ostavila dubok trag u zajednicama. Prema izvorima, mladić od 27 godina živio je u Vitez-u, a bio je na kraju dana na jezeru kada je doslo do incidenta. Početkom jutra, lokalni mediji su objavili da je mladić utopljen, a njegovi roditelji i prijatelji su bili u šoku. Brzo nakon što je poznato da je došlo do smrti, policija i hitna pomoć su stigla na mjesto nesreće, ali nisu mogli da spasiše mladića. Tijelo je pronađeno tek poslije nekoliko sati, kada je ronilac iz GSS-a Prenj, na poziv Policijske stanice Prozor-Rama, obavio pretraživanje podvodnog područja. Na kraju, tijelo je predano nadležnim policijskim institucijama za dalje postupanje.
Tragedija se dešava na području naselja Šćit, gdje je mladić bio u procesu kupanja. Prema nekim izvorima, mladić je bio s braćom, a jedan od njih, brat, je uspješno spašen iz vode zahvaljujući brzoj reakciji prisutnih ljudi i spasilačkih službi. Međutim, mladić nije bio tako srećan – njegovo tijelo je pronađeno u vodi, a njegove roditelje su čekali za razlogom za smrt. Iako su pokušali da ga spase, nisu uspjeli, pa je tijelo pronađeno tek kasnije. Lokalni mediji su naglasili da je nesreća dogodila u vrijeme kada su ljudi još uvijek u šoku i traže odgovore.
GSS-ovci iz Prenja, kao i policija, su aktivno surađivali u potrazi za utopljenom osobom. Ronočki tim je bio mobiliziran na hitnoj osnovi, jer je bilo važno pronaći tijelo što je brže moguće. U skladu s informacijama, ronioci su provedeni detaljan pregled podvodnog prostora, a nakon dugotrajne trude, tijelo je pronađeno. Tijelo je predano policijskim autoritetima kako bi se nastavilo s istraživanjem. U međuvremenu, roditelji i prijatelji mladića su bili u ogromanom šoku, a lokalna zajednica je pokazala veliku podršku obitelji.
Ramsko jezero, koje se nalazi u blizini Viteza, je popularno mjesto za kupanje i rekreativne aktivnosti. Međutim, iako je jezero poznato po svojoj ljepoti, ono također ima opasnosti, posebno ako se koristi bez odgovarajuće opreme ili stručnosti. U ovom slučaju, mladić je bio sam na jezeru, a nema informacija o tome da je imao partnera ili druga lica. To sugerira da je incident bio spontan, a ne planirani. Međutim, neki izvori navode da je mladić bio s braćom, što znači da je bilo više ljudi na mjestu nesreće, ali samo jedan je poginuo.
Istraživačka djelatnost je već započeta, a policijski službenici su izrazili namjeru da utvrde sve okolnosti i tačan uzrok nesreće. U međuvremenu, lokalni mediji su naglasili da će biti potrebno vremena da se dođe do svih detalja, ali da će se sva potrebna informacija dostaviti obitelji i zajednici. Uz to, lokalna zajednica je pokazala veliku podršku obitelji, a mnogi su izrazili srdačnu simpatiju prema mladom muškarcu koji je izgubio život u takvoj mladosti.
Napred, očekuje se da će biti napravljena više analiza i da će se proširiti informacije o incidentu. Obitelj mladića će biti u centru pažnje, a lokalni mediji će nastaviti da donosimo najnovije vijesti o tom slučaju. U međuvremenu, zajednica će se suočiti s ove tragedije posljedicama, a svaka nova informacija će biti važna za razumijevanje i uklanjanje eventualnih rizika u budućnosti.

A man named Hernán Gil was rescued alive after spending eight days trapped under 140 tons of rubble caused by two consecutive earthquakes in Venezuela. Rescuers located him more than 100 hours after initially finding him and successfully extracted him with the help of Chilean firefighters who described the operation as technically complex. The rescue took place in Catia La Mar, where Gil was working in a small concrete room in a basement parking garage near a market center. The room provided some protection, allowing him to survive despite the massive amount of debris around him. During the rescue, rescuers provided water and medical care, including an IV drip. Despite multiple collapses of access tunnels, rescuers eventually established visual contact with Gil. He emerged without any injuries, according to Red Cross workers, and reportedly asked for specific isotonic drinks during the rescue. His positive attitude and interactions with rescuers were noted by those involved.
