00:01I will go live now with the president of the National Assembly Jorge Rodriguez
00:05we're listening to the statements. At this time the place of much gravity of
00:16this disaster you know that despite seven states have been severely affected the
00:23state of La Huayra is the the area that is the was the most devastated that's why
00:34it has been completely militarized and I know that it's much desire of accompanying
00:42and help to the people of the state of La Huayra but please avoid to go to the
00:48state of La Huayra in order to facilitate the rescue efforts those people who are
00:54trapped under the rover that is a clockwise work that is a job where every
01:02minute counts. At this time we have had 432, says Mickey Benz, the two earthquakes
01:15of June 24 at 6 a.m. and after that we have had 430 after shots that tells you the
01:26level of energy that have been released by the tectonic plagues that can tell you of
01:39the devastation and the power of this earthquake and aftershocks that's why
01:47allow us to do our job if we want to help help us state staying at home and if
01:55you want the desire and if you have the expertise to collaborate with the rescue
01:59efforts or to collaborate with medical attention and with the paramedic actions
02:05our first aid go and we will go up to the polyhedron, register yourself and we
02:12inform you that the teams that were going to go down as part of volunteers are
02:18going to do it in an orderly manner and the order that the rescue national teams
02:25and international rescue teams are helping us. That this is a job that requires a
02:33that doesn't have a lot of people around in order to do the proper job. In the
02:39report of this date at this time we are accounting 1430 people have died sadly they
02:54have lost their lives. 1430 people have died so far. We send our condolences to the
03:02families and the loved ones of these Venezuelans that have lost their lives and we
03:10have 3438 people injured, 3142 families that have been dignified and they have been
03:21placed in a shelter in all seven states. In direct medical assistance more than 5,000
03:31assistance. Triages does that term where the patient is attended and if they can handle the
03:43problem very quickly and 7,500 triage have been delivered. At this moment 73,000 families have been
04:03attended and more than seven million kilos of food have been distributed in the state of La Waira have been
04:12delivered directly despite of the more than 7 million kilos of food more than 145,000 bags of food. If
04:27you want to
04:27collaborate with food with blankets, with mattresses, with medicines take it to the center of
04:42take it to the Calota or the in Caracas in Katia because yesterday for example we were going down to
04:52La Waira and we saw a truck and we saw a truck delivering chicken and all the meat without no
05:05refrigeration
05:11and that can lead to an intoxication. So we need to order the help that we need to organize not
05:21only the displacement, the deployment, but the time because this is what we need right now.
05:27And I repeat, we have distributed in the state of La Waira more than 220,000 food in the state
05:38of La Waira.
05:42There are people who are afraid to return to their homes even when those places have been declared safe. There
05:47are people who are sleeping in parks, in squares.
05:52We are distributed and making shelters. But those people, if they don't want to sleep in the shelter, they can
06:00go there, take a shower, have a rest.
06:06And we are trying to reach those people to give attention. So far, until this moment, we add to the
06:18international aid that has arrived, we add 16 medical teams from Curaçao, others from Qatar.
06:31There are rescue teams and rescue teams from Puerto Rico and also from Barbados. From the 21 medical teams, from
06:43the rescue teams, we have added 96 cannon units, 32 trucks.
06:52Amongst materials, 32 tons of medical supplies and food that is added to the medical teams and officers, rescue teams,
07:08paramedics, psychologists, more than 30,000 Venezuelans, specialized Venezuelans that are at this moment working in the disaster zones.
07:19I want to remember that in the Polyedra of Caracas, there is the center to register the volunteers that will
07:27be then orderly taken to La Waira.
07:31At this time, at this time, at 1.22 p.m., more than 237 volunteers have been registered and the
07:40convoys to take them to La Waira have been organized.
07:44And lastly, as we told them yesterday, as we have had hundreds and thousands of expressions of solidarity, of affection,
07:56of the company and help, also in a minority place that is also evil.
08:05A few days ago, a few days ago was the theme of the tsunami, and between yesterday and today, we
08:11have the theme of the viaduct.
08:15This viaduct is in perfect condition, it is expanded daily, and the technicians have declared that this place is in
08:24perfect condition.
08:25Many have public space that has been affected.
08:34We analyzed that, and we studied that, and there is absolute certainty that it is 100% safe.
08:41Please do not pay attention to those fake news, and please stay to the official news that we are giving,
08:50that the Bolivarian government is giving, and the government of acting president,
08:56Elcio Rodriguez, governors, mayors, and are giving.
