The death toll from the two powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24 has risen to 2,295, while the number of injured has climbed to 11,267, Venezuelan National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez said on Wednesday. Thousands remain missing a week after twin earthquakes rocked the south American country, and rescue teams say the chances of finding more survivors are fading. But a massive aid effort is underway. Some of it is coming from local groups, including the Chinese Venezuelan community. There are hundreds of thousands of Chinese descendants living in Venezuela. Some of them run businesses and have access to critical supplies to assist earthquake-ravaged communities. "We are sending some water today. We have sent medicines, food, tons and tons of food. From the entire Chinese group in Venezuela, we calculate we have sent almost 2,000 tons of aid in total," said Chang Liang Melva, a Chinese Venezuelan in Caracas. Some Chinese restaurants in the city are open 24 hours and are offering free food to those in need. Volunteers are also delivering food to victim families. "We are giving free food to the Chinese people here. As they are able to get here, they can come and pick up whatever they need. For the Venezuelan people, the food is being sent to them by helicopter and car. We have sent between 400 and 500 meals this way," said Cendy Cen, a restaurant manager. Since June 24, Venezuela has recorded 782 aftershocks, though their frequency and magnitude have decreased. La communauté chinoise du Venezuela a acheminé une aide d’urgence aux sinitrés des deux puissants séismes qui ont frappé le pays le 24 juin, et dont le bilan s’élève désormais à 2 295 morts et 11 267 blessés, selon les chiffres annoncés mercredi par le président de l’Assemblée nationale vénézuélienne, Jorge Rodriguez. Une semaine après les secousses qui ont dévasté plusieurs régions du pays, des milliers de personnes sont toujours portées disparues, et les équipes de secours estiment que les chances de retrouver d’autres survivants s’amenuisent. Un vaste mouvement de solidarité s’est néanmoins organisé, notamment grâce à l’engagement de la communauté sino-vénézuélienne. Forte de plusieurs centaines de milliers de descendants de Chinois, dont nombre d’entre eux dirigent des commerces et entreprises, celle-ci a pu fournir des ressources essentielles en cette période critique. "Aujourd’hui, nous envoyons de l’eau. Nous avons déjà livré des médicaments, des denrées alimentaires, des tonnes et des tonnes de nourriture. L’ensemble de la communauté chinoise au Venezuela a acheminé près de 2 000 tonnes d’aide au total", a déclaré Mme Chang Liang Melva, membre de la communauté sino-vénézuélienne basée à Caracas. Plusieurs restaurants chinois de Caracas fonctionnent 24 heures sur 24 et distribuent gratuitement des repas aux personnes dans le besoin. Des volontaires assurent par ailleurs la livraison de nourriture aux familles sinistrées. "Nous offrons des repas gratuits aux Chinois qui se présentent. Ils peuvent venir chercher ce dont ils ont besoin. Pour les Vénézuéliens, nous acheminons les repas par hélicoptère ou par camion. Nous avons ainsi distribué entre 400 et 500 repas", a indiqué Mme Cendy Cen, gérante d’un restaurant. Depuis le 24 juin, 782 répliques sismiques ont été enregistrées, bien que leur fréquence et leur intensité aient diminué, a précisé M. Rodriguez. Au total, 6 461 personnes ont été secourues, selon la même source. Spanish/English/Nats Espagnol/Anglais/Nats Caracas, Venezuela - Recent (CCTV - No access Chinese mainland) 1.
