Vietnamese rescue teams have successfully located and recovered 13 victims buried in the aftermath of earthquakes in Venezuela. The search and rescue operations are ongoing, with a particular focus on La Guaira state, which has suffered the most severe damage from the seismic events.

On July 1, the Vietnamese rescue contingent continued their efforts, deploying five teams across a 2.2 square kilometer area in Playa Grande, Catia la Mar, La Guaira state. This expanded search aims to expedite the process of locating any remaining missing persons trapped beneath the rubble.

In addition to rescue operations, Vietnam has provided significant humanitarian aid. This includes 35 tons of dry rations, medical supplies for 60 individuals, 2 tons of canned meat, four power generators, 500 tents, 10 marquees, and 50,000 rolls of medical tape. A medical station was also set up to treat 26 local residents.

The Vietnamese delegation, comprising 124 military and police personnel, arrived in Venezuela on June 29. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil Pinto expressed profound gratitude on behalf of his government and people for Vietnam's timely assistance during this difficult period.
