01:55the national territory. These teams from Spain came with technical equipment in order to
02:09support and to accelerate the process of rescue and search to remove debris to remove damage

02:36will help also to locate people that are trapped under the rubble. There are still
02:42people under the rubble and let's remember that this powerful earthquake have left more
02:50than 235 people dead so far more than 4,300 people injured and this is just a

04:277.2, 7.5 earthquakes that struck Venezuela territory on June 24 exceeds 05 p.m.
04:39After that moment everything changed in Venezuela territory with all more than 235 people reported dead so far more than

04:56people reported injured. The sign of solidarity have been present all this time. People from the government of several countries
05:10have been sending messages of support, of solidarity from different parts of the world, Cuba, Nicaragua, Spain, Qatar, Palestine, Pakistan.
05:25Many of these countries have sent words of support, praying for the Venezuelan people and also have been sent, have
05:36been sending rescue teams in this case.
05:39As we are seeing right now, as we are seeing right now, these live images from the airport in Aragua
05:45State, people that are arriving rescue teams, specialized teams with equipment, specialized equipment to support the Venezuelan government and the
06:00Venezuelan population.
06:01In this context and in this context and in this context and in this context and in the framework of
06:06this tragedy that destroyed the nation and they have been shaking their national territory through the last hours.
06:15They come from Spain, they come from Spain, they come from Spain, they are coming to join the national teams
06:26that as we have been reporting, have been working since the first time, since the very first moment.
06:33This team that is arriving now is divided in two, this is divided into one that is one that is
06:46a team of search and rescue and another one that is firefighters.

07:26also a shipment of approximately 50 tons of medical supplies,
07:32emergency equipment and essential relief items intended to support their response to the tragedy.
07:41As part of the support from governments around the world, also a team from the operations, a team of operations

09:22operations following the earthquakes that struck the country.
09:29This international deployment, as we have been saying, is part of the humanitarian response.
09:35It is important to highlight this. This is a humanitarian response and solidarity shown by the countries across the region
09:42and across the world.
09:44Dominican rescuers, together with other assistance teams, are working in close coordination with local authorities to help address the emergency
09:56and provide the necessary support to the affected communities.
10:01Also, shortly after midnight, today, a contingent of rescue personnel from Switzerland arrived in Venezuela in another demonstration of solidarity
10:14with the Venezuelan people and the government following these earthquakes.
10:20This rescue team from Switzerland also brought essential humanitarian aid support to support those most in need during this critical
10:30moment.
10:32The Swiss deployment, in this case, consists of 80 rescuers, 8 search and rescue dogs and 18 tons of specialized

11:57And another one, another team of firefighters. This is all needed. We see now, for example, the dog descending with
