The Indian Army has rescued a 79-year-old woman from the rubble in earthquake-hit Venezuela under Operation Amistad, India’s humanitarian relief mission. The woman, trapped beneath a collapsed building, suffered a fractured leg and peripheral arterial disease, with delayed treatment causing a severe arterial ulcer and intense pain. Army doctors stabilised her fracture, initiated advanced wound care and began daily specialised treatment. The Army’s Field Hospital continues providing critical medical assistance to survivors. Venezuela was struck by twin earthquakes on June 24, leaving 1,719 people dead, 5,034 injured and 22,619 affected, according to the National Assembly. Authorities reported 855 damaged buildings, including 189 collapses, while hundreds of aftershocks continue.
