00:00Very early we came on the Hercules plane, we had the opportunity to be the only means to travel with the Hercules and with the help that the Hercules brought and we came to a neighborhood that they mentioned to us as soon as we got off, it was a neighborhood that was very complicated, it is the Derby neighborhood.
00:16This is Circumvalación Avenue and the story that I am going to tell you today, because if one can name each day of a tragedy,
00:25today the name that I would put is, we started with the reconstruction, which is very important, because if today there are places with water, if I show you the places with water, I am showing you what has been happening for many days,
00:38but the exits are beginning to appear, the exits, never better said, the exits to the water, because look, this street that I am showing you exactly 40 minutes ago,
00:49it was a normal street, it was a street collector, we were actually parked here, we had to run the car because suddenly that crane that our colleague Claudio Merino is now going to show you,
01:02began to make a channel for the water to come out, that's why I tell you, it's a story that I'm starting to tell you from the end and now we're going to walk to find the drama of the families
01:13who are still in a kind of well and the water is not something that is yesterday's newspaper, it is today's newspaper.
01:20Obviously, Sole, what we are seeing, what you are showing us is a drainage, if you want, that is being made of flooded areas.
01:27They make that channel that you are showing us to try to drain so that the water goes from that neighborhood where you are, where they have had a very bad time and they continue to have a very bad time.
01:38This is the subject, of course, it encourages us to start the reconstruction, to start the drainage, but it is important to show what you are transmitting with your camera, with Claudio,
01:49which is a devastated place, a devastated land, Sole, is what we see.
01:55It is that look what it is, it is very shocking, guys, from the heart, it is very shocking to be here, because you see when you enter a terrain that gives the feeling, well, here a hurricane happened, here there was a war.
02:09It looks like that, because there are hairbrushes, I was just walking through this block and I was finding things that are not garbage, they are objects that were in the houses.
02:19Guys, here is a shoe that was probably inside a closet, the water took everything anywhere.
02:26There are checkers, there are buried buckets, there are toys of the boys and I go back to the same thing, I am not in a garbage dump, I am walking through the sidewalks of this neighborhood,
02:36because look how they have managed from this gutter that this machine assembled, because now it is very difficult to cross, we are going to do it of course, but really when we got to work in this place,
02:48about two hours ago, we found that it was a street covered with water, now look how they have made a furrow so that the water begins to drain, the families had a meter of water.
03:00And the difficulty of putting together these furrows, Sole, because of course you have to take care that the water does not drain in another neighborhood, that is, that it does not leave a neighborhood to invade, to flood another,
03:12so it is an extra difficulty and also the unevenness of the terrain that makes it not always easy to generate that slope so that the water goes away, and the neighbors doing what they can.
03:24Here we are, this is a proof of what happens, one does not know what is stepping and in this street there are ditches and suddenly you are walking and the terrain sinks and it is one of the ditches, that is why it is so difficult, you are walking very slowly,
03:44something that is not transmitted by camera, but it is also important to mark it, the smell that there is is very strong, it is a very strong rotten smell, you get there, there you get up.
03:58They are going to their houses, Sole?
04:00They are going to deliver bread and fritters.
04:03So you are from another neighborhood and you come here to bring some fritters, something so that the volunteers can eat.
04:09Yes, exactly.
04:10Well, but the work is very important.
04:12Yes, the truth is that if we started doing it today in the morning to deliver and well, now we get in.
04:18Well, I congratulate you girls, I congratulate you, go carefully.
04:22Very slowly we are going to try to cross, look at the height of the water.
04:27You are showing the disaster live and at the same time the solidarity of young people who spontaneously approach to give a hand, to bring food to a place that is covered by water.
04:40The work is yours, Sole, but what you show us is a great lagoon.
04:47Look, they just told us that around here, look at what is the centimeter that divides you from having a bad time.
04:54They just told us that what is in the middle is not a path, it is a very deep ditch and if we kept walking we would fall, but we are going to turn around.
05:02Go ahead.
05:04We are going to show a little what happens to the neighbors.
05:06Look at that girl, obviously you have the boots and the water exceeds you.
05:10I go back to the same thing, Rolando, Marina.
05:13The smell is very strong, the smell is very strong.
05:16It is not necessary to give details, but here everything is mixed and imagine what it is for people.
05:24Many people had to send their children to other houses.
05:27Of course.
05:28The parents are alone, taking care of what little they have.
05:32It is very sad.
05:33Well, there are several realities, right?
05:35On the one hand, there are 20 detainees.
05:37One cannot imagine that in this situation of tragedy there are evil people who are going to steal what little is left for these families who lost everything.
05:48And on the other hand, and I transfer it to you, Sole.
05:51I don't know if you saw help, I don't know if something of all this help that is being organized with shocking logistics arrived and that is the fruit of solidarity.
06:02Look, today when we traveled, today when we traveled in the Hercules, I find it very interesting to tell you,
06:08two very large structures were traveling and I asked them what they were about and they were two drinking plants.
06:15This, which looks like a machine, is already very important.
06:19Because what it is going to do is to be able to get drinking water, which is what people need.
06:27Obviously there is a lot of help that arrived in Bahia Blanca, but this is not going to be enough in terms of water.
06:32Because you can't even cook, you can't brush your teeth, you can't do anything with the water from the well.
06:38It really is very dangerous.
06:40Sole, it is shocking to see you walking around there because obviously you are transmitting to us in the first person
06:45the same thing that the people of Bahia Blanca are experiencing.
06:48Your difficulty, the one that we warn, with which we empathize, is that of thousands of inhabitants of the city.
06:55I imagine that you have not had easy access to water, you have not had easy access to food.
07:01You have to be careful because ...
07:03Can I tell you an intimacy?
07:04Yes, of course.
07:05That's what I was going for, Sole, that you tell us, because you, telling us your experience,
07:09you are transmitting to us what happens to thousands of people affected by this tragic flood.
07:16Obviously it is the least important thing, but it happened to me to get off the plane, to start transmitting.
07:22My backpack came out with a truck that went to make donations.
07:27I mean, I'm literally wearing it.
07:30I have nothing, I don't have a cell phone charger, I don't have clothes.
07:33But hey, it's a bit like working here.
07:35It's that feeling of real emergency where you arrive, you start recording and these things happen to you.
07:44Each of the people who are here, half of them are volunteering.
07:49And these people also have problems and personal dramas.
07:53Sure. And can we ...
07:55Won't you be able to cross?
07:56Not for now, until they finish the work.
08:00I think we're going to ...
08:02It's complex, let's see if we can ...
08:04Yes, we see, Sole has been somewhat isolated.
08:06How does it happen to the neighbors in that area of the Derby neighborhood?
08:09They can't go from one side to the other.
08:12Wait, let me pass because ...
08:14We are live, there we are going to try to pass.
08:21Well, with a lead foot, guys.
08:23Be careful, be careful, of course.
08:25Soledad Largui is balancing.
08:29In a very slippery area, pure mud.
08:33There it is, there it is.
08:36Complicated, Sole.
08:37And with respect to work, Sole, is there any deadline for this drainage to be generated that is sought?
08:46Look, now I'm going to show you.
08:48Look, now I'm going to show you.
08:50Because here it really looks like a neighborhood.
08:52Yes.
08:53But now I'm going to show you how much they have achieved.
08:55There are houses that are very, very ...
08:58Underwater, almost a meter.
09:01And we had the opportunity.
09:03I hope the people who opened the door for us can be there.
09:07And that it is precisely those cases of people who remain due to insecurity.
09:11That is a key point, Sole.
09:13Because we were anticipating it.
09:15That is a key point, Sole.
09:17Because we were anticipating it yesterday in Código de Noticias.
09:20This issue of people's fear, of the fear of leaving and that criminals enter.
09:25Marina was just talking about 20 people already arrested.
09:28In 5 days, nothing more.
09:29In just 5 days?
09:31And you have to, in reality, it's less time yet.
09:33Of course, yes, yes.
09:34Because the first two days are of impact, and the thieves come out.
09:37But after this short time, this brief lapse, there are already criminals piling up, Sole.
09:45The shock absorber of a car, guys.
09:48Of course, the car destroyed, right?
09:51Each object speaks of a history of destruction.
09:54Yes.
09:55Of a personal drama, right?
09:57I mean, that shock absorber, you lost the car.
10:00You lost part of your life, your work tool.
10:03Do those houses, Sole, have people where you are walking?
10:06Are there people inside those homes?
10:08Or have they been evacuated?
10:10Look, I'm going to try to get to a neighbor's house.
10:15We are trying to remember that in a place there is a ditch.
10:20Let's go slowly.
10:22But this neighbor of this house with brick walls sent his children and his wife to the other side.
10:32And he stayed taking care of his own.
10:34They are so hardworking, because you realize that it is a couple who have bought everything with great sacrifice.
10:41And he has been here for four days.
10:44He sits on the wall every now and then to see how they work.
10:49But there is a lot of water in his house.
10:52Let's see if he is there and lets us pass.
10:55He is there.
10:59And they are houses of hardworking people.
11:03Many young couples.
11:05They told us about couples who took eight years to build the little house.
11:10And they are taking care of their own because they steal everything.
11:14They steal from the little food there is to the clothes of the little ones.
11:19Everything, everything, everything.
11:21If they leave, the fear is of looting.
11:24And the truth is that they cannot afford to lose what little they have left.
