Vietnamese rescuers used wall-penetrating radar and specialized audio and visual search equipment to locate victims in the rubble after the earthquake in Myanmar.
On the morning of March 31, after many hours of traveling by car over a distance of hundreds of kilometers to reach the capital Naypyidaw (Myanmar), the Vietnamese rescue team settled down and immediately started to overcome the consequences and damage caused by the earthquake in Myanmar.
The representative of the working group said that as soon as arriving in Naypyitaw, the head of the Vietnamese rescue team quickly discussed with the representative of the Fire Prevention and Fighting Department (Myanmar Ministry of Home Affairs) to discuss and agree on rescue plans at the scene.
In the morning, the weather in the Zabuthiri area, the capital of Naypyidaw, was around 35 degrees Celsius and was forecast to rise to 40 degrees by noon and early afternoon. The scene where the rescue team arrived was a 3-storey building that had completely collapsed over an area of about 200 square meters.
As soon as they reached the scene of the rubble, the Vietnamese rescue team began to survey and assess the number of people trapped. At the same time, they used wall-penetrating radar and many specialized image and sound search devices to locate victims in the rubble.
The Vietnamese military delegation also divided into 3 groups, coordinating with the Ministry of Public Security delegation to search in 3 directions with the most urgent spirit. In which, the delegation sent 10 military and police officers and soldiers to conduct field reconnaissance.
In addition, 30 military medical officers and soldiers are also ready to form a small-scale treatment team, deploying on-site medical and surgical first aid plans to treat victims and people in the earthquake-ravaged area.
For about 10 days, the Vietnamese delegation will participate in searching for people, providing medical examination and treatment, participating in activities to overcome consequences and damage caused by the earthquake and other activities on the field as requested by the Myanmar side, in accordance with the expertise and capabilities of the delegation.
A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on March 28 and subsequent aftershocks have caused extensive damage.
Myanmar authorities say about 1,700 people have been killed and 3,400 injured. About 300 people are missing.PV (synthesis)
