I saw huge waves of solidarity: Venezuelan volunteer gives details of the search and rescue efforts
Despite having no previous experience in rescue work, Cristofer Correia decided to join in due to the magnitude of the tragedy and the lack of personnel.
Due to a lack of personnel and particular technology, which has forced lots of volunteers to join in the hunt for survivors with little resources, recovery efforts are still underway in the areas affected by the earthquakes that have shaken north Venezuela.
One of the people who assisted in the evacuation of Arnaldo Carmona, who had been stranded for more than 30 time beneath the wreckage of a building, Cristofer Correia, described the challenging situation that emergency teams have to deal with.
" All is done with toenails," says the saying. In an interview with Infobae, he claimed that there are" a lack of hands and tools," noting that gloves, portable grinders, saws, cordless grinders, and other protective equipment are required to speed up search operations.
Correia explained that despite having no prior experience with rescue work, he made the decision to participate due to the magnitude of the drama and the lack of professional personnel. For every professional hero, about ten volunteers participate, he claimed to the above media.
He also claimed to have witnessed exhausted firefighters snoozing during comfort shifts as a result of the long workweeks.
He stated that the crisis bodies take control of the rescue of buried people in the most delicate stage of each rescue.
Despite the difficulties, Cuban citizens demonstrated remarkable cooperation, with people setting up collection centers and delivering food, water, medicine, and supplies to the most troubled regions.
