00:15While rescue teams continue working at nine disaster sites in Cali, after
00:20The 7.4 magnitude earthquake, which was recorded last Monday, August 10, in the city
00:26Attention begins to focus on immediate response shelters for affected families.
00:32We lived on the third floor and our house is about to collapse, it is uninhabitable.
00:41They told us we could spend the night, even if it was there, because we were looking for shelter on the day of the earthquake.
00:48We were on the street all day with our son and didn't find shelter until...
00:54Another day we woke up and it was full of rubble again, so we said no
01:00It was suitable to live there.
01:01Among the largest are the Hockey Coliseum and the Baseball Diamond in the unit
01:06Jaime Aparicio sports team.
01:08According to the mayor's office, there are more than 200 spaces available at these two locations, where [the process is taking place].
01:12medical care, psychosocial support, daily meals, and hygiene kits to meet their needs
01:18basics.
01:19In addition, there is differentiated assistance to an indigenous community that is a victim of the conflict.
01:24armed and displaced from their territories, who lost the two houses they used as
01:29shelter.
01:30This shelter is called the hockey stadium and it has been a great help to us.
01:40Given that it's quite good, we've been seen by doctors and psychologists and they've treated us
01:47Great.
01:48In fact, they spoil us a lot; they've brought us quite a few things.
01:54They brought lots of things for the dogs, they brought toys for my son, things we already had
01:59We lost everything and they brought us beds, dog food, little things we really needed
02:07And people have treated us very well, and we're seeing what solution they can actually give us, because
02:13We're actually on the street and have nowhere to sleep, so after this, that's it.
02:18My real concern is what will happen after...
02:22The task is not easy, explained the Secretary of Social Welfare of Cali, Nigeria Renfería.
02:28Many have preferred not to move from the places where their homes collapsed for fear of
02:33looting.
02:33Others go out throughout the day to help in rescue efforts or to obtain resources
02:38to start over.
02:40So far, 125 people are being held at the Hoki Coliseum, and 30 at the Reception Center.
02:46in the Metropolitan North, 33 in Chiminangos and 26 in the Victims' Hospital.
02:52There are still places available to receive more victims of the earthquake.
02:56I hope that at some point they'll tell us, "You know what? We can help, even though..."
03:01Whether it's with a rental, even just one, because that's how you start to get things moving. My partner
03:09He's a baker, I'm a craftswoman, and we don't know, we really don't know what to do. Afterwards
03:17It's about what happened. I mean, all I'm trying to do is calm my son down and that
03:22he
03:23Don't let him see me devastated because, I mean, crying in front of him is like taking away his strength, right?
03:29So, seeing it as if they also see that one is suffering, and that's not the idea.
03:34It's time to be strong and keep moving forward.
