Chinese companies in Venezuela have actively joined relief efforts following the June 24 powerful earthquakes, helping with search and rescue operations.
Venezuelan National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez said Tuesday that the death toll from the two powerful earthquakes had risen to 1,943, with more than 10,000 injured. In the wake of the disaster, a Chinese company in Venezuela immediately deployed heavy machinery to La Guaira, a coastal state north of Caracas and one of the hardest-hit areas, to help search for and rescue victims trapped under the rubble.
"We've brought here a bulldozer, a large excavator, a small excavator and two generators. They have been running around the clock. We gathered the equipment on June 25, set out on June 26, and arrived in La Guaira on June 27. We've been working since then. Yesterday, we successfully rescued a survivor," said Yang Mengqi, vice president of a Chinese company.
According to the Chinese Embassy in Venezuela, nearly 10 Chinese companies are currently taking part in post-earthquake humanitarian relief efforts through various means, including deploying equipment, mobilizing supplies, and organizing search and rescue operations.
