00:11Our correspondent in China, Bruno Falk-Falci,
00:14traveled to the epicenter of the disaster at Jilong Port and brings us the latest details.
00:21Greetings colleagues!
00:23I'm here at the rescue site of Jilong Port in China's Tibet autonomous region.
00:29Very close to the border with Nepal,
00:32where the disaster struck on August 26th.
00:36From the mountains at an altitude of around 5,200 meters,
00:41a massive flow of water, ice, rocks and mud traveled some 22 kilometers before reaching the valley.
00:50The force of the flow caused extensive destruction in the border area,
00:56damaging roads, facility, communications and basic service since the emergency began.
01:03China has mobilized around 2,300 rescue personnel and more than 700 military personnel
01:12and around 170 specialists and technical experts to support the operation and monitor potential secondary risks.
01:23The government has also allocated 120 million yuan, that's around 70 million dollars, for rescue and relief efforts,
01:34and sent 30,000 emergency relief items.
01:3811 days after the disaster, 31 people have died so far, and another 531 remain missing.
01:48Search and rescue operations are underway and continue, while our authorities are also working to restore communications and access routes
01:58from the rescue site.
02:00And here, from the rescue site at Jilong Port, I come back with you in the studios.
02:06Thank you for the call.
