Venezuelans are expressing gratitude to Indian medical professionals for their excellent care following a devastating earthquake. A woman treated at the Army field hospital, set up under ‘Operation Amistad’, thanked the Indian team, saying, “Your attention and affection towards us is perfect. Thank you! May God be with you always.”
Another local resident praised the care received at the Army Field Hospital and appreciated the service of the medical specialists. India initiated ‘Operation Amistad’ to aid Venezuela after twin earthquakes caused widespread destruction and claimed over 1,400 lives. The Indian Army’s efforts have been crucial in providing timely medical assistance and hope to those affected.
The Indian Army’s Additional Directorate General of Public Information highlighted the story of a 79-year-old woman rescued from a collapsed building. The medical team stabilized her fracture, provided advanced wound care, and ensured daily follow-up treatment. This compassionate care not only offered medical support but also renewed hope for recovery, showcasing India’s solidarity with Venezuela in times of crisis.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar confirmed that Indian assistance, including a Field Hospital Unit, relief supplies, medicines, and medical equipment, reached Venezuela on June 28. This aid is expected to strengthen the ongoing post-earthquake relief efforts in the country. India’s deployment of a specialized medical contingent to Venezuela underscores its commitment to humanitarian assistance and support for those in need.
