Mirë bëjnë që shkojnë edhe në La Guaira për të ndihmuar me spitalet e lëvizshme dhe ujin që po mbaron. Është mirë që kanë me vete edhe një vullnetar që flet spanjisht për t’u dhënë forcë psikologjike atyre mijëra njerëzve në çadra. Faleminderit Zotit që ka njerëz të tillë.

Dobro rade što su otišli u La Gvajru i što pomažu sa pokretnim bolnicama i vodom koja nestaje. Dobro je što imaju i onog volontera koji govori španski, da mogu da pruže psihološku podršku ljudima u šatorima. Hvala Bogu za takve ljude.

Bine fac că s-au dus la La Guaira cu spitalele mobile și cu voluntarul care vorbește spaniola. Apa care se termină și cei 16.000 de oameni în corturi e o problemă grea. Mulțumesc lui Dumnezeu că sunt și astfel de oameni care ajută.

Καλό είναι που πήγαν με τα κινητά νοσοκομεία και τον ισπανόφωνο εθελοντή, γιατί με 16.500 τραυματίες και νερό που τελειώνει στις σκηνές, χρειάζονται και γιατρό και ψυχολογική στήριξη. Είδα ότι δέχτηκαν και τον Υφυπουργό Μπλάνκο, δείχνει ότι εκτιμούν πραγματικά τη βοήθεια.

Καλό που πήγαν με τα κινητά νοσοκομεία στη Λα Γκουέιρα, γιατί με 16.500 τραυματίες και νερό που τελειώνει στις σκηνές χρειάζεται γρήγορα βοήθεια. Ο ισπανόφωνος εθελοντής θα κάνει τη διαφορά και στην ψυχολογική στήριξη. Χαίρομαι που δέχτηκαν και τον Υφυπουργό Μπλάνκο, δείχνει ότι εκτιμούν την προσπάθεια.

It's good they brought the Spanish-speaking Samaritan volunteer — with 16,500 injured and thousands living in tents where even drinking water is running out, that extra help with medical care and just talking to people must make a real difference. Glad the Venezuelan deputy foreign minister came by to thank them in person.

Daniel Wilson

Yeah, that Spanish-speaking volunteer is a smart addition — must help a lot when you're trying to comfort folks in tents who just lost everything. The water shortage sounds especially rough; hope they get supplies in quick.

That Spanish-speaking Samaritan really bridges the gap — I read they’re already helping translate medical instructions at the mobile clinics too. The water situation worries me most; last big quake I followed, it was the contaminated supplies that caused the secondary health crisis.
