Oriana Brache, a Spanish citizen, survived 24 hours trapped with her husband and son under a collapsed building in Playa Grande, La Guaira, after a June 24 earthquake.
She gave her urine to her four-year-old son to prevent dehydration while trapped.
The rescue was led by her father-in-law, José Alberto Gallipoli, who walked six kilometers and organized neighbors; no official rescue services arrived.
The family lost several members: Oriana's younger sister and nephew died, a sister-in-law died after amputation, another sister-in-law was found dead after 16 days, and her older sister remains hospitalized.

- She gave her urine to her four-year-old son to prevent dehydration while trapped.

- The family lost several members: Oriana's younger sister and nephew died, a sister-in-law died after amputation, another sister-in-law was found dead after 16 days, and her older sister remains hospitalized.
- Spanish consular assistance has been bureaucratic and insufficient, with only €3,000 provided for medical costs, which cover less than a week of clinic care in Caracas.
