00:00We're going now with our colleague on the ground, Luis Guillermo, who's going to tell us a bit more about
00:03what's going on.
00:06This is our colleague from La Guaira State.
00:10This work was 7.2 and 7.5 in the Richter scale.
00:17There was a lot of people in the right in the short of the city of La Guaira.
00:22We can see the images that have collapsed.
00:29From the first moment, they have activated the safety protocols.
00:37And a dog was rescued.
00:44There's still around 6 people.
00:48The National Service for Disaster Management is present in this operation.
00:53With all the security bodies of the government, we're trying to continue.
01:01And the people from the rescue operation, we're doing everything we can to rescue the people that are still inside.
01:09There's six people and one dog still inside, and we're trying to rescue them from this fallen building.
01:18We continue the direct communication with the people inside, and we continue strategizing on how to get them out.
01:26They're still alive, and they're still alive, and they're still well, and we ask God to help us to move
01:33from this situation.
01:35On a national level, the situation is being controlled by the local authorities.
01:41I'm from the Ovaldo Cartea, from the National Service for Disaster Management.
01:48What can you tell us about the situation?
01:50This avenue, a lot of buildings have fallen completely.
01:54Do you have knowledge of any more of this situation?
01:59There were several buildings that had completely collapsed.
02:02Also on the upper side, there were also some buildings that were cracked and uninhabitable.
02:14Those people from those buildings have been relocated to decide what they're going to do about the protection of these
02:22people.
02:24You said something very important.
02:27What places, where are they taking people to find shelter?
02:33There's a lot of fake news on the social media.
02:37On the other side of the teleferic, in Makoto.
02:44On the other side, there's tents, camping tents, and volunteers supplying medication for the people who are looking for shelter.
02:59The national police, the National Guard were located on this other side for defending the country.
03:09In the center in Makoto is the only one, or is there one?
03:13There's more on the other side of the Guayra.
03:19We're trying to get the people to safe locations where they can find shelter and get food and water.
03:30We've seen a lot of neighbors and family members trying to get people using everything.
03:35Yeah, the neighbors are collaborating with the search and rescue operations and with the debris removal.
03:46We're hoping that everything is going to go on.
03:49We have a specialized rescue team.
03:52They're doing everything they can to save the life of these people.
03:57While they're using this rescue, they're trying to lift a piece of the wall very carefully because everything is falling
04:08apart.
04:10Everything is falling apart.
04:12And if there's life, there's always hope.
04:17Thank you, missionary, for your hope.
04:19We're looking at the situation, which is very complicated.
04:23This building has been an object of a lot of worrisome from the authorities.
04:29We are surprised because we've been here for a while, but they're still saying there's more people alive.
04:37There's a lot of people who are around that.
04:39There are family members of the, I mean, friends and family of the people who were trapped.
04:45The people who are allegedly still alive inside this building.
04:50We were previously talking to a woman who was waiting for the possibility.
04:58If I'm allowed, man, I know you're upset about the situation.
05:04But can you tell me what you're waiting for?
05:07I'm waiting for them to come alive, my son.
05:15My godfather and his son-in-law.
05:21We're here since last night, since we heard about what happened.
05:25And we haven't had any kind of answers about if they're alive.
05:31We heard voices, but we don't know if it's the voices of my family members.
05:38I just need to hear them. I'm just here to hear their names.
05:43We're just hoping that they're alive, that they're well.
05:50I wasn't with him. I was with our family members. I was working.
05:55I went home and then I heard about them being here in this situation.
06:00And we came here.
06:06Today, thank God, I've received a lot of help from rescue crews, from a lot of people.
06:12And a lot of people are inside trying to help them.
06:17Carolina Montaña.
06:18My name is Carolina Montaña.
06:36We're looking for this. It's an extreme situation.
06:40People are very concerned.
06:51They don't understand that it's a very, this is a crisis situation.
07:03We're trying to, the people are trying to identify any family members that came, came out.
07:11This is the Palmar Oeste sector in the state of La Guayra in Venezuela.
07:19This is part of the consequences.

09:04We have a military hospital.
09:08And, of course, we have seen a great deal of solidarity.
09:21From neighbors that are not professionals from the rescuers.
09:28But they're still working to try to save the people.
09:33Trying to find the people.
09:36And the neighbors, they're doing their best effort.
09:43This is an opportunity, as many have said, to deepen on the union solidarity and bond among the people.
09:54So we can finish on with what we are.
09:57A people that come together in difficulties.
