They lost three relatives in Venezuela, migrated to Cali to start again and survived another earthquake in Colombia: this is their story

Two Venezuelan teenage brothers, Winder and Deivi, who lost their mother, brother, and grandmother in a June earthquake in La Guaira, migrated to Cali, Colombia, to live with their father.

Winder and Deivi, aged 15 and 17, survived a June 24 earthquake in Venezuela that killed their mother, brother, and grandmother.

The brothers spent 26 days searching for family members in the rubble in La Guaira before migrating to Cali, Colombia.

On the morning of the Colombia earthquake (magnitude 7.4, epicenter in San José del Palmar, Chocó), the brothers were at home and ran outside; their father, Deivid Delfín, was at work and rushed home fearing for their safety.

The family was reunited safely, but the event revived trauma; the father expressed relief and fear for his children's safety.
