Rescuers pulled a woman alive from rubble after 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck Venezuela.

Officials say at least 235 people have been killed and 4,300 injured, with many still trapped and missing.

In La Guaira, one of the most affected areas, Graciela Mora was pulled from under the rubble of a collapsed building.

She was rescued with injuries, including a broken finger, but a friend she was with at the time died.

She told the Associated Press she held her friend’s hand while waiting to be rescued so she would not have to die alone.

The powerful quakes, among the strongest in over a century, were felt across the region and caused widespread destruction.
