A remarkable moment unfolded in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela when a woman went into labour and gave birth beside a collapsed building.

The incident occurred after the powerful twin earthquakes, measuring magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5, struck the country, leaving hundreds of people dead and thousands injured.

According to reports, the expectant mother had been rescued from a collapsed building and taken to a safe area when she suddenly went into labour.

A video shared on social media captured the emergency delivery, showing Dr. María Fernanda Terán kneeling on the pavement to assist the woman as she gave birth in the coastal city of La Guairá, one of the areas hardest hit by the disaster.

During the delivery, Dr. Terán was seen holding the woman’s crying son while a male bystander supported the expectant mother’s upper body. Another person later brought additional clothing to help keep the new mother comfortable after the baby was born.

The baby was successfully delivered despite the challenging conditions, with the birth taking place amid the destruction caused by the earthquake.
