00:00And join us now. We have last-minute information from Venezuela.
00:03The President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez, is offering statements during a press conference.
00:08Let's listen.
00:11The government, the state, has organized these press conferences
00:17in order to convey the impact of these dual actions,
00:28this dual earthquake had on the country in the various states, Aragua, Carabobo, Federal Districts.
00:38So today's information that we've been sharing with the population through the acting president,
00:47President Rodriguez, and various speakers who have been informing
00:56about the victims of this dual earthquake.
01:02So today's report, it will be accompanied by a press conference to answer some of the questions.
01:11Today, the number of Venezuelans deceased through the direct effect of the earthquake is 4,333 people dead.
01:261,640 injured, 6,400 people rescued by Venezuelan rescuers.
01:36The very same day, through an airlift, they helped their brethren that suffered after the crumbling
01:48of the buildings in the afternoon of the 24th.
01:52Then through international rescuers who very quickly arrived here
01:58and were embraced by the Venezuelan people and also the rescuing activities through 29 people
02:08who volunteered to be rescuers.
02:11We have attended 85,000 families.
02:15We have installed 94 transit camps.
02:21And I would like to elaborate further on the characteristics of these transit camps
02:30and to invite national, international journalists who want to visit these camps
02:36so you can engage with those living in those camps.
02:42We have not more than 19,000 people, 18,400 people are already in this transit camp.
02:53And there we have, in some schools, larger camps of triage used in a stadium.
03:04And there we arrive, a number of people, but we prefer that these people go to schools
03:14that are now part of the transit camps.
03:21850 buildings and 140 have totally collapsed.
03:29The level of damage of the buildings led to President Rodriguez to create two working commissions.
03:40First, a presidential commission in charge of assessing the buildings that have been somehow affected.
03:52So, through this evaluation.
