A young girl became trapped under rubble after rare back-to-back earthquakes struck Venezuela<\/a> earlier this month, and ate condiments to survive as her mother gave up hope she would be rescued. Then, a stranger heard her call.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, June 24, Venezuela was hit by a 7.2-magnitude earthquake, followed shortly after by a 7.5-magnitude earthquake believed to be the country\u2019s biggest in more than a century. When the tremors first started, Karina Blanco was about to start teaching an exercise class and her 12-year-old daughter Fabiana was at home, according to the BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n Karina said she \u201cstarted screaming, \u2018my daughter, my daughter,\u2019 \u201d and rushed home to her first-floor apartment in the town of Caraballeda \u201cas fast as I could\u201d upon realizing just how serious the natural disaster was, the BBC reported. When she got there, she said she \u201ccould see one building, then a gap where my building stood, and then another building.\u201d<\/p>\n At the moment, Karina recalled to the outlet, \u201cI was running from one end of the complex to the other screaming, \u2018She\u2019s dead. My daughter is dead\u2019. I didn\u2019t know what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
