00:01Families displaced by a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Panama are taking shelter in tents outside their damaged homes as
00:10the government declares a national state of emergency.
00:13The quake struck on October 9th, damaging nearly 900 homes across the country's central provinces.
00:20Drone footage showed a beach hotel at Playa Venao reduced to rubble, while residents in Tonosi returned to find their
00:27homes severely damaged.
00:29Among them was Yenedis Degracias, who was sleeping with her 20-day-old baby when the earthquake struck.
00:59The blocks of the pillars of the portal fell on my head.
01:07Degracias said her family is now waiting for assistance, as their home remains at risk of collapsing.
01:13We still have to wait to see what help they are going to give us with the house, what we
01:18are going to do.
01:19But as soon as we are going to stay here, because we can't go there, and with the baby, less.
01:24Because imagine how you take that house. That's still here.
01:28Meanwhile, President José Raúl Mulino visited affected areas to oversee relief efforts,
01:34as authorities work to restore access to damaged roads and deliver essential supplies to displaced residents.
01:40Ayer se comenzó a resolver el problema de las carreteras, que estaban, no bloqueas, rotas, no podían pasar.
01:48La comida y eso va por carretera en gran escala. Ayer helicópteros del Senan, yo estuve en Tonosi ayer,
01:57y estuvieron volando mucha agua, comida seca, etc., para la gente del pueblo de Tonosi, que estaban ahí en una
02:03cancha todos con sus carpas.
02:05Pero lo bueno dentro de todo, lo que ha pasado es que no hay víctimas, y que el pueblo panameño
02:11está tranquilo.
02:12Lo material lo vamos a resolver, pero lo importante es que no hay víctimas, y eso es un milagro.
02:17Emergency authorities said at least 27 people were injured in the earthquake, while no deaths have been reported.
