00:00Good afternoon, Vivian. Could you please tell us the number of people disappeared,
00:11that disappeared? Did we close phase one of search and rescue? And how are you
00:23dealing with the relatives who have identified their loved ones, but afterwards they don't
00:33find the corpse of those relative people, of their loved ones? Well, Vivian, as long as
00:42there is life, there is hope. We still have active sites looking for people alive. Many
00:52teams brought by international rescuers are equipments. They bring equipments that can
00:59detect a heartbeat, or worms, or some mascot that could be alive. And this is accompanied
01:11with the removal of the debris. So from the first day, we are doing this very slowly. The
01:25removal of debris should be slow, because if we go too fast, if we move a large number of
01:36debris, we run the risk of killing someone who is under the rubble. So also people want
01:44to rescue the corpse of the loved ones, because mourning requires to recognize the loved ones
01:54who died, and then to bury those corpse. People speculate about the number of disappeared people.
02:04Well, for day one, 25th of June, personally, we gave you the figures of people who died. People
02:17whose certainty exists that these people regrettably lost their lives during the two earthquakes. We
02:26cannot speculate. We need to rely on reality. In my phones, I have the number of people who have not
02:37been identified so far. They have died, but they have not been identified yet. Until yesterday,
03:03315 persons that were not identified, because they were not recognized when we took the fingerprint, when it was
03:13possible, we could associate this person to any identity in the assignment. That's 7% of the total of
03:22people dead. Now, unidentified people. That is one of the things they are saying around. And I have a personal
03:33comment, and apologize for making a parallel comment. In my prayers, and because these are days of work, but also
03:46of days for praying, I wish sisterly countries in the world, I wish them that they never ever are the
03:58victims of
03:59this type of natural catastrophe. Because this is huge, what happened in those 90 seconds.
