CARACAS, Venezuela.-<\/strong> H\u00e9ctor M\u00e9ndez, rescatista mexicano de 80 a\u00f1os, asegura haber estado en los eventos m\u00e1s catastr\u00f3ficos de Venezuela en los \u00faltimos 30 a\u00f1os: el terremoto de Cariaco (1997), el deslave de Vargas (1999) y ahora se encuentra en Caracas, donde trabaja en la b\u00fasqueda de supervivientes tras el doble terremoto del mi\u00e9rcoles que ha causado la muerte de al menos mil 430 personas.<\/p>\n

Fundador de Topos Aztecas, un grupo internacional de rescatistas, M\u00e9ndez eligi\u00f3 esta profesi\u00f3n tras el terremoto de M\u00e9xico de 1985, cuando tuvo que buscar a su hermano y lo hall\u00f3 con vida, seg\u00fan cuenta a EFE. Lleg\u00f3 a Venezuela este viernes en compa\u00f1\u00eda de otras personas y un grupo de perros entrenados para buscar a supervivientes.<\/p>\n

M\u00e9ndez porta banderas de distintos pa\u00edses en su uniforme que considera “signos de fraternidad” y son lugares a los que ha ido en sus 40 a\u00f1os como rescatista: Hait\u00ed, M\u00e9xico, Italia, Argentina, Estados Unidos y otros.<\/p>\n

Descansa en una camilla para seguir con las labores de b\u00fasqueda en Los Palos Grandes, una zona residencial y comercial din\u00e1mica en el municipio Chacao, el m\u00e1s afectado de Caracas por los recientes terremotos.<\/p>\n

A su alrededor toda una cadena de emergencia: bomberos que rechazan dar entrevistas a periodistas, voluntarios, personas que reciben agua y alimentos no perecederos en tiendas de campa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

Al fondo, entre el polvo que levantan palas y excavadoras, un edificio en ruinas, y sobre las ruinas los Topos Aztecas eval\u00faan si hay sobrevivientes. M\u00e9ndez explica a EFE que los perros tienen mayor capacidad olfativa y pueden detectar si hay personas vivas o fallecidas bajo los escombros.<\/p>\n

(Hoy) lo que detectamos son personas fallecidas”, dice en referencia al edificio de viviendas llamado Petunia, que qued\u00f3 en ruinas tras los terremotos de magnitud 7,2 y 7,5 del pasado mi\u00e9rcoles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

M\u00e9ndez dice que \u00e9l y su grupo est\u00e1n enfocados en encontrar los cuerpos de los fallecidos y entreg\u00e1rselos a los familiares para una sepultura digna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
