00:00And now live from La Guayra, Venezuela, our correspondent Paola Perez is going to tell
00:04us a bit more about the rescue efforts that are currently going on.
00:07Let's listen.
00:13We were first taking care of people in Caracas, yet a lot of people were rescued alive.
00:21And then we decided to come down to La Guayra because the affectation was greater.
00:27From that moment, we have a lot of personnel taking care of, as long as time goes on, the
00:37odds are decreasing of finding the window of opportunities closing for someone to be found
00:45alive.
00:46But we haven't rested, we haven't stopped, we keep searching for people.
00:50Yesterday we still found people alive and that, well, gives us courage to keep going,
00:56to keep trying to find the people.
01:01Can you say the work is advancing?
01:03Yes, the work is advancing.
01:05In spite of the scene, we're finding there's a lot of scenarios.
01:11The event was very big here in the state of La Guayra.
01:15We still need the helping hands in spite of the colleagues from over 120 countries have
01:22come, which we think rightly, but we still need more people.
01:28The exchange of knowledge that you have had with the international colleagues, have you
01:35work only with Venezuelan people or also with the other conditions?
01:38Yes, of course, we have the opportunity to work with people from the United States, from
01:44Mexico, the Chinese, the Argentinians and Brazilians.
01:48We have worked with them and, of course, we have also had the opportunity of having our
01:55education abroad.
01:57In case of Vossos, it's a voluntary organization, so we have had that contact with technology before
02:07that we can now put into practice in this event.
02:12Yes, you use the INSARAC standards, which is the United Nations standards for the search
02:19and rescue operations.
02:21Thank you very much.
02:22Keep working.
02:25And the last call I want to make for citizens is that you understand why we're doing your
02:30hard work and we're going to help you.
02:32Please be patient.
02:33We understand the desperation you are facing, because it's not easy to have somebody, to
02:39have a loved one under the rubble, under tons of rubble, but be certain that we are doing
02:45everything we can to help.
02:47Thank you very much.
02:48Have a good day.
02:51The work of rescue workers doesn't stop, it hasn't stopped, and you can see the double
02:58commitment of the Venezuelan rescue workers.
03:03A lot of them even have families in these conditions, and even though they keep working
03:09to rescue people from beneath the rubble, supporting the work of the international rescue workers
03:17also.
03:18I'm going to show you this highway, La Guayra-Caracas, the road that connects the two cities that
03:28right now has a lot of traffic.
03:32In spite of the restrictions of the government, we keep seeing vehicles and motorcycles that
03:41allows for the transport for volunteers to be able to move to the other side of La Guayra,
03:50to keep helping with this work that hasn't stopped, hasn't ceased.
03:56And this is also part of the operations that you can keep following on our screen in Telesur,
04:02on the last minute, on the minute-to-minute.
04:18There was our colleague Paola Perez, who was a little bit more about the search and rescue
04:22efforts that are currently going on in La Guayra.
04:24She was interviewing one of the rescue crew members belonging to the Venezuelan firefighter
04:32forces.
04:49Like I said, this was our colleague Paola Perez, who wants a little bit more about the rescue
04:54operations in La Guayra.
04:58We'll keep going with more information.
