00:00Remove all that rubble.
00:01But Hugo was telling us also that today they saw it was somebody under the rubble.
00:08The specialist said it even happened 10 days since the two strong earthquakes.
00:13It's somebody under the rubble, but he has access to water and to food.
00:18He can live many, many days, and that's what they saw.
00:21The rescuer today, but that person was dead.
00:24But talking about rescuer, we want to show you how tough they are working.
00:28How tough is under the circumstances, but even though they don't give up.
00:35Four days after Venezuela's devastating twin earthquakes,
00:39the sound of heavy machinery competed with something even more powerful,
00:43the voices of rescuers refusing to give up.
00:46Across shattered neighborhoods, thousands of Venezuelan and international emergency workers
00:51have searched relentlessly for signs of life,
00:54turning scenes of destruction into stories of hope.
00:57Since the earthquake struck on June 24th, firefighters, civil protection teams,
01:03members of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces, police, medical personnel, and volunteers
01:08have worked around the clock, often in dangerous conditions,
01:12raising against time to reach survivors trapped beneath the rubble.
01:16The rescue has stretched far beyond Venezuela's borders.
01:20More than 4,000 search and rescue specialists from over 20 countries,
01:25alongside highly trained rescue dogs,
01:28have joined local emergency crews in one of the largest international rescue operations
01:33ever mounted in Latin America.
01:35Together, they've searched collapsed homes, apartment towers, and hospitals,
01:40proving that when disaster strikes,
01:43solidarity speaks very high and every language.
01:47The work has been exhausting.
01:50Every collapsed building presents a new challenge.
01:53Aftershocks threaten already unstable structures.
01:57Yet the search continues.
01:58For rescue workers, every sound beneath the rubble offers hope.
02:03Every hand on cover reminds them why they cannot stop.
02:06Behind every rescue is a team, engineers shaking unstable walls,
02:11medics preparing emergency treatment,
02:14canine handlers trusting their dogs in stents,
02:18heavy equipment operators moving the breeze with precision,
02:21and volunteers delivering food, water, and comfort to families waiting nearby.
02:27Their work extends beyond finding survivors.
02:29They help recover loved ones with dignity,
02:33support displaced families,
02:34and begin the long road toward rebuilding communities forever changed.
02:38As rescue operations gradually transition into recovery,
02:42thousands of responders remain on the ground,
02:45continuing a mission driven by hope, service,
02:48and the belief that every life is worth fighting for.
