00:00On Monday, a shipment of international aid landed from China at Maquitia International Airport in La Guaira.
00:06Our correspondent, Belén de los Santos, brings us more information.
00:11Hello everyone, we are here at Maquitia Airport.
00:14As we previously reported, the first flight from the People's Republic of China has just arrived,
00:19carrying supplies that will precisely aid in this recovery and reconstruction phase
00:23that Venezuela is currently undergoing following the double earthquake on June 24th.
00:27We are joined at this moment by Foreign Minister Ivan Guil.
00:30Thank you very much for speaking with us.
00:32Minister, what does China's support mean for Venezuela at this time?
00:42Yes, well, we are truly very grateful for the support and the cargo that has arrived.
00:4785 tons of direct aid from the People's Republic of China
00:50on a flight that landed this morning and is already being distributed.
00:57We are talking about power generators, fumigators, water purifiers, solar panels, and tents
01:04for the people who have been displaced by this unfortunate double earthquake on June 24th.
01:09Well, it is a demonstration of solidarity and the strategic relationship we share with China.
01:17We have taken advantage of this offloading process to arrive and inspect the International Aid Aerial Storage
01:23and Distribution Center. As we can see here, the cargo arrives and is dispatched.
01:29We can now see our automated system, the Sentinella system, which is a platform where everything is registered
01:36and dispatched to the distribution centers and directly to the end, user, and almost immediate distribution.
01:44Joining me here is Major General Rodriguez Sanchez, who has been in charge of this operation.
01:50It is a truly significant logistical operation that allows us to guarantee care for the Venezuelan people.
01:58We have tens of thousands of men and women deployed across the National Territory
02:03under instructions from President Delcy Rodriguez.
02:06This incoming support joins the efforts being made by the Ministry of Food, the Ministry of Health,
02:12and all the ministries of the Bolivarian government, and it will give this aid a major boost.
02:18Therefore, the people of Venezuela can truly have the confidence and guarantee that we are working
02:24alongside them so that this reaches each of the distribution centers immediately and swiftly.
02:29Here we are, and we will continue working under instructions from President Delcy Rodriguez to help our people.
02:41Thank you very much, Minister. As we were saying, and as the minister just mentioned,
02:46we are right at the heart of where donations are received. This international support, which,
02:50through the Organization of the Bolivarian State, is classified for its front distribution.
02:55This is what we later see at the distribution centers that are currently leading the assistance for
02:59all those affected by the June 24th earthquakes. Those are the direct words from Maquetia Airport.
03:04We return to the studios.
