00:07Hello, welcome to Telesur English, we're going now with the latest information in Venezuela as we are hearing the President
00:13of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez. Let's listen.
00:38The body of the mayor of Chacao, Caracas, from La Guaira.
01:02At 6 to 3 p.m. at this moment, when it is 1 and 17 minutes p.m., we have
01:13experimented 302 seismical events.
01:20That's beside the two fatal earthquakes, with the force shortly seen in the history of the world, besides the two
01:35earthquakes of 7.2 and 7.5.
01:44Shocks.
01:54We want to send a message, strong message, to ask you to maintain like you are with calm and to
02:04also attend this petition, please.
02:07To ask everyone who wants to support and help, please do not go to La Guaira, please do not go
02:17to La Guaira.
02:20Because understanding that it's been massive, the intention, the wish to help of all of you, it also occurred that
02:30all the ways that we are evacuating the people are congested, are full.
02:38So the way we are transporting all the people in the state of Miranda also.
02:45The best support is to not please leave our ways clear, because so all the teams can transport all the
02:58patients in a faster way, so they can attend and do a better job.
03:04If you want to support with some logistics like food, like water, mattresses, clothes, machinery, heavy machinery or light machinery,
03:21we have put two centers of recollection.
03:24One in La Carlota, one in La Carlota and another in Caracas in Catia.
03:31I repeat, all the recollection centers for everyone who wants to help, one in La Carlota and for other parts
03:40in Catia, the Sucre neighborhood.
03:46That's the best support you can make this. In a few minutes we will make a new number so you
03:57can call there to report some people that are lost and also familiar and also some people that are injured
04:08or affected from La Guaira,
04:10from Caracas, from Caracas, from Chacao, from San Bernardino and all the people that have been affected and also attended
04:17in the hospital.
04:18We have in automatically leads so we will answer you from where are one people.
04:30So this is the assessment right now. We must announce, sadly, because they are our brothers and sisters, that 920
04:44people have died for the violent actions of the earthquake on 24 June.
04:51We have received 3,360 injured people as a consequence of the earthquake actions. At this moment we have more
05:04than 4,000 people affected.
05:09Affected buildings between multifamily or buildings, 383 buildings affected in total or on a partial way, most of them in
05:24the state of La Guaira.
05:26That is why the acting president, Delsi, declared this natural disaster state there in La Guaira.
05:37And we want to tell everybody the state of La Guaira is right now completely militarized, is completely under the
05:45control of the Bolivarian Armed Forces to guarantee the security,
05:49to guarantee the intern order, to facilitate also the rescue jobs without restings, without also sleeping, almost without eating, almost
06:03without drinking water.
06:05All the rescue teams are working to rescue our brothers and sisters from Venezuela.
06:10The most of them in Caravalleda, in Macuto, Los Corales, the most of them in Cate y Alamar, sector Playa
06:19Grande, are the sectors in La Guaira that are brutally affected for the action of the earthquakes.
06:25But we are, fortunately, we are in every point that was, that there is affection.
06:34Luckily, one of the first thing that was done in the first hours was to clear all the ways.
06:43In other tragedy that suffered the La Guaira like was the Vargas tragedy in 1999.
06:50The ways were further in the mountain to also go to the sea, in the access precisely in zones like
07:04Caravalleda, Macuto, and also in Caracas.
07:08In this way, the ways are completely cleared until Caracas because that allows us to take the rescue bodies and
07:20also the control of the security and the intern order.
07:25In all the disaster zones in La Guaira, 13 hospitals have been affected and also intervened by part of the
07:32unified command, 25 commercial centers, and in between, among other structures, 1,002 to a total of 1,423.
07:47We interrupted the ways to La Guaira so we can have the fast access as part of our efforts in
07:57this moment, principally in La Guaira, but also in all of Caracas.
08:05We thank so much the mayor of Chacao that are here to this immense efforts of attention, of saving lives
08:18and also from recovery.
08:20At this moment, 2,600,000 kilograms of food has been distributed to all the people that have been affected,
08:32including all those people that, as a reason of the affecting of their building, they have also been spending the
08:39night in public spaces.
08:41Today we are intensifying the attention of this group of persons.
08:45The ones who want to go to the temporary refugees, they can go to there and also to guarantee the
08:53food and also to guarantee their water and also to guarantee his personal hygiene.
08:59Hundreds of people have been rescued from the rescue groups and I want to put an example because as you
09:06were saying to someone yesterday,
09:07every person saved is a miracle, every person that can reunite again with its family, it is a miracle that
09:16it fills our soul with happiness.
09:20Every person that, people that is deceived is sadness, every people that is saved is a miracle that turns our
09:29hopes back to us, that we are going to overcome this great misfortune.
09:35Yesterday, we worked with the acting president, with the Almirant Carmen Menendez in one of the buildings that all collapsed
09:44in the neighborhood of San Bernardino.
09:48Even when they were rescued seven deceased people, 20 people alive were rescued and 20 also pets that were trapped
10:01there.
10:01That's the effort that they are doing without the rest in all the disaster zone.
10:11It won't be enough life to thank all the brothers and countries that in an immediate way they were in
10:21solidarity with the Venezuelan people in this tragedy.
10:25At this moment, at this moment, at this moment, principally in La Guayra, but also in Chacao and Caracas,
10:33in the Municipality of Libertadores, 272 people from Mexico, 328 rescuers from United States, 115 rescuers from Salvador.
10:47We thank the government of El Salvador, we thank the people of El Salvador, they have friends that support us
10:55in this tragedy,
10:5590 people of Switzerland, 40 from Spain, 34 for Chile, 15 from the Dominican Republic, 13 from Panama,
11:08and also the special team of rescue from the United Nations.
11:14There are people specialised in the rescue on disaster, there are specialised people in to handle all the obstacles, all
11:25the walls.
11:28In total, we have 800 and there are still arriving solidarity planes, 861 specialised that are joining the thousands of
11:43the Bolivarian government of Venezuela
11:46and the ones who are here to support.
11:48In total of logistics, to help us is 73.2 tonnes of and also 33 dogs that are very helpful
12:02in this.
12:05We insist do not go to La Guayra if you want to help us, do not go to La Guayra
12:10if you do not need it in an urgent way,
12:13please, if you want to collaborate, if you have something to support us, go to the recollection centres to Caracas.
12:26But it's necessary for the people to take conscience.
12:33Between so much altruism, every greatness that the people have shown,
12:39the solidarity, the international solidarity, but also there are miserable people in the misery.
12:46In a way to find something in this horrible tragedy, in a way to join efforts as the political factor,
12:59even the Venezuelan opposition, everybody has to join the efforts, everyone has joined efforts to help,
13:07as we are seeing also the opposition of Venezuela and the deputy to the assemblies.
13:13They are having the miserable people that want to take advantage of something so horrific.
13:22Yesterday, they put, since the same earthquake, they put out the topic of a fake tsunami,
13:33knowing that it was a lie, they generate important delays on the rescue of the trapped people.
13:42They left, in the circumstances as we are right now, they have experimented most of the suffering,
13:50they also put more suffering to the situation.
13:54Please maintain the calm, and only please listen to the official communication.
14:05It's immense, it's the most that we have suffered in the last 100 years.
14:10We won't hide anything, but you need to understand that also, when we are in the recommendation that we are
14:19to you,
14:19we are doing it so we can accelerate the rescue teams in this moment.
14:28Do not listen to fake news, even if they seem real, and even a video showing one of the visions
14:36in the state of Sucre.
14:38There is no tsunami alert, the Vice President said yesterday, but it's not awkward to some others to appear also.
14:50But listen only to the official communication, only all the official authorities.
14:57Do not put your attention on fake news, on lies, and please do not go to La Guayra.
15:04Right now, we are in control, in totally control of the situation.
15:08If you want to help, do not go, and leave your support to the recopilation centers.
15:19We were watching all the latest information of the President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez, where he also told
15:32that the amount of deaths is more than 900 people at this moment.
15:38This is an official figure, this is full of sadness, but he also sent a message of hope to all
15:45the population of the Venezuelan people.
15:49There are, let's repeat, there are 920 dead people and 3,360 injured, as the President of the National Assembly,
16:02Jorge Rodriguez said.
