Early this Thursday in La Guaira there was a landslide as a result of the rains that caused the death of a mother and two of her children, according to the Minister of Interior Relations, Justice and Peace, Remigio Ceballos.
He explained that the house, located in the La Ceiba sector, in the Zamora neighborhood, Urimare parish, collapsed due to the landslide that dragged with it a tree that fell on a retaining wall.
Ceballos indicated that “a 13-year-old boy was rescued thanks to the rapid action of the security forces,” and was transferred to the Doctor Rafael Medina Jiménez Hospital, on the outskirts of Pariata, to receive medical attention and social assistance.
The deceased were identified as Rosmery Medina, along with a three-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy.
The minister added that “risk mitigation work is maintained in the state of La Guaira.
