Teens who fled Venezuela after deadly quakes caught in another disaster in Colombia
Deivi (left) with Winder and their father Deivid "The earthquake is haunting me," Deivi Delfín says. The 15-year-old feels like he and his brother, Winder, have been chased by tremors these past few months, having lived through two that struck with devastating effect in Venezuela, only to get caught up in another this week after moving to Colombia. He tells the BBC that he and his brother, 17, no longer felt like children, having witnessed corpses damaged beyond recognition. After their home in La Guaira - the area of Venezuela hardest hit by the twin quakes on 24 June - was reduced to a pile of rubble, killing three family members including their mother, they moved to Cali, Colombia, where their father works, on Friday. Three days later, they felt the ground shake again.
