The Teenage Boys In Search of Their Mother After the Venezuela Earthquake

Two teenage brothers in Venezuela spent 26 days searching through earthquake wreckage for their missing mother, brother and grandmother, according to a New York Times World report published through a monitored public feed.

The story follows Winder and Deivi Delfín in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24, 2026. Rather than quickly turning to another kind of recovery, the boys returned day after day to the site of the destruction, digging in hopes of finding the bodies of their family members.

The feed summary indicates that their mother, brother and grandmother were among the people they sought. It does not provide further details about how the family was caught in the disaster or what authorities and rescuers were doing during those weeks, but it makes clear that the brothers’ search continued for nearly a month after the quakes.

Their effort underscores the human toll of the disaster, which left families facing not only shock and loss but also the painful uncertainty of not knowing what had become of loved ones. For Winder and Deivi, the search itself became a daily act of grief and persistence.
