00:06In Malaga, the City Council has set up a collection point at the Municipal Center for Participatory Resources,
00:12where medicines and essential medical supplies are being received.
00:15The campaign, which includes items such as saline solution, gloves, dressings, masks, gloves, disinfectants, flashlights and batteries,
00:24has been expanded to facilitate citizens' participation.
00:26In other Andalusia provinces, community groups, citizens, associations of the Venezuelan community and social organizations
00:33have promoted similar initiatives to send humanitarian aid to the affected areas.
00:47In Honduras, the Venezuelan community has set up collection centers to gather donations for families affected by the earthquakes.
00:54International solidarity continues to strengthen the seismic emergency response.
00:59The Venezuelan volunteers living in Honduras have praised the overwhelming support of the local community
01:05as Honduran citizens continue to donate supplies at collection centers across the country.
01:11In this context, the collection centers will remain open indefinitely
01:15as the donation keeps arriving from both the Honduran and Venezuelan communities,
01:20reflecting a spirit of Latin American solidarity with Venezuela during this tragedy.
01:32What we're doing here is organizing a collection center to receive all donations we can.
01:37Our goal as volunteers here, and on behalf of the Venezuelan community,
01:42is to make sure every contribution, every small art support we're providing reaches our fellow Venezuelans.
01:49We also want to thank the Hondurans people who have come forward to help.
01:54We hope these donations reach those in need and help them through this difficult time.
01:59Unfortunately, this is a natural disaster that is beyond our control,
02:03but the least we can do is contribute our small part to support our country.
02:08I believe that, in response to what our fellow Latin American nation, Venezuela, is coming through,
02:14many Hondurans have to step up by donating clothing, medicine, and personal hygiene supplies.
02:18They have also offered their prayers that rescue efforts continue today,
02:22and people are still being evacuated from the affected areas.
02:25We pray that God watches over and protects them always.
