Venezuelan man thanks Vietnamese soldiers for finding his mother's body in rubble

Vietnamese rescue workers in Venezuela are racing against time, pulling nine more victims from the rubble on July 4th. Beyond their search efforts, the soldiers are leaving a mark with their compassionate actions, encouraging locals to overcome their grief. The Vietnamese search and rescue team in Venezuela reported on July 4th (local time) that they continued their operations in the Playa Grande area of La Guaira state, Venezuela, recovering nine more earthquake victims from the debris. To date, the Vietnamese team has recovered 54 victims from the rubble. The team also assisted local residents with moving their belongings and provided free medical check-ups and medicine. In the Playa Grande area, local resident Oscar Fernandez thanked each Vietnamese soldier who helped find and recover his mother's body from the collapsed building. Vietnamese soldiers offered a comforting embrace to Fernandez, sharing his loss. Notably, on the morning of July 3rd (local time), Vietnamese military forces, in coordination with Venezuelan forces, detected a signal possibly indicating life within a collapsed building in Playa Grande using specialized equipment. Both sides immediately began a round-the-clock search. The search operation garnered significant attention from local authorities and residents. Nayade Lockiby Belmonte, Commander of the Venezuelan Militia Forces, who was present at the scene on the night of July 3rd (local time), expressed gratitude to Vietnam for dispatching forces to assist in earthquake recovery efforts. She highly praised the coordination between the Vietnamese People's Army and Venezuelan forces in the victim search and affirmed Venezuela's readiness to provide maximum support to the Vietnamese team. After more than half a day, by the early morning of July 4th (local time), the military forces reached the suspected location. Every corner was meticulously checked, but no signs of life were found. Although they could not perform a miracle, the Vietnamese soldiers brought something equally valuable: dedication, boundless human compassion, and a reliable support for their friends in need. On July 3rd, the search and rescue team from Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security also conducted operations at the disaster's epicenter in Venezuela. There, the team successfully completed a task that international rescue teams had previously marked as 'impossible.' The Vietnamese team successfully recovered victim bodies from the collapsed building.
