00:00What you're going to find is mud, which is a means of contamination and transmission of diseases, right?
00:07Yes, especially skin diseases, skin infections,
00:11which is another frequent problem in the case of floods.
00:14And then, of course, you have to make sure with the health authority that the water you have in the house is drinkable.
00:22Eventually, it is advisable to make it drinkable.
00:25That is, before consuming the water in the house, boil it for a minute,
00:29or put four drops of lavender in a bucket of water before drinking it.
00:34And if not, consume bottled mineral water.
00:37Bottled and closed.
00:39Yes, because the big terror here is the two diseases that are going to be transmitted by the water,
00:44which are diarrhea, which can be very severe, and hepatitis A.
00:50Let's remember that here the water has been mixed with animal excreta.
00:54Well, that is a risk for leptospirosis, which I also saw that the doctors in Bahia announced.
01:00And then, see the way to restore the treatments as soon as possible.
01:05Because the treatments that are suspended are very delicate,
01:08especially for patients with diabetes, with arterial hypertension,
01:10and patients who have diseases, for example, who have glaucoma or Parkinson's,
01:15which are diseases where the time without treatment, which can be a few days, one or two days only.
01:21The other day we were talking to a health care worker who explained that for cleaning the houses,
01:26it is also convenient to use water with lavender, because as you said, the mud can be polluting.
01:32Mud is polluting.
01:34That is, the principle is that everything that comes from the flood is polluting.
01:41That is, it produces bacteria.
01:43Be careful how you cook too.
01:45You have to be extremely careful and ideally consume packaged food.
01:49And well, then a little bit of what I just mentioned from the testimony of the person,
01:54we went to the Portuguese who was in the house.
01:56I think that's very, very eloquent.
01:59These people even ran out of underwear to give a magnitude of the drama we are talking about.
02:07That has a relevance in a 25-year-old man and another relevance in a 70-year-old person with a 2-year-old boy.
02:15Of course.
02:17That is, the 25-year-old person is more prepared to bear this.
02:20That's what I mean.
02:21The older or younger people, the children, it's so complicated.
02:25There is also a mental health issue that is also no less than post-traumatic stress.
02:29We saw a person who cried in front of the camera.
02:31Three people did it.
02:33That is all a contained emotion that the only way, when this is studied,
02:38in the cases that are in other parts of the world,
02:41that the only way to dissipate this is when there is a lot of state presence.
02:46So there is the logistical challenge that you have pointed out.
02:49Well, you just talked to Bianco.
02:51It is capital.
02:52Because people have to perceive that the authority is very close to them.
02:56Of course.
02:57With explicit symbols.
02:59In fact, it is very important that people are informed these days.
03:02That is, the doctor with the ambulance, the police, the army personnel.
03:07Bahía Blanca has the most important naval base in the country next door.
03:12I don't know if we can get in touch with our cell phones
03:15to tell us what is happening in the place.
03:17Alejandro, you are still on Route 3, right?
03:24No, we don't have it.
03:26We are going to try to see what the image is going to be,
03:30at least of what is happening,
03:32following the caravan of the President of the Nation,
03:35which is going to Serri,
03:36which is the first place where we started the broadcast of today.
03:45Two things happen.
03:46First, the very unexpected search of these two little girls
03:50that you see in the small image of our screen,
03:53Pilar and Delfina Hecker.
03:55Today Pilar, with Tomarina, her mother, turns 5 years old.
04:01And also an adult person.
04:03The search was done in the area where they lived,
04:09but it is not ruled out to do it in the sea,
04:12to know if the bodies of these two girls could have been dragged to the sea.
04:19And the other thing that happens there in Serri,
04:21is also the coordination of the delivery of drinking water.
04:24So far, drinking water and food,
04:26according to what our TV viewers are telling us,
04:29there is still a lack of more agility in the distribution
04:34in the galleys of the municipality of Bahia Blanca,
04:38of everything that has been donated.
04:40Yes, Mercedes.
04:42The donations of the solidarity train are beginning to be seen,
04:46which is the one that had the most impact,
04:48but the truth is that there is a huge amount of donations at the private level.
04:51The truck of the Totora, the micro of the Totora and others,
04:55which are reaching different points.
04:57It is, as Ale Pueblas said,
04:59the most important thing is to look for a distribution point,
05:02like the volunteer firefighters,
05:04that everyone knows where they are,
05:06precisely so that the donations are delivered directly
05:09to those who need the most.
05:12Clothes, mattresses, blankets, cleaning elements of the house.
05:18But the last few days we heard people who did not have access to food or water
05:23and who, however, in the last few hours were delivered.
05:31This is happening right now,
05:33as you can see, part of the tracking that is being done
05:36throughout the area where the Hecker family lived.
