A month ago, two severe earthquakes struck Venezuela, leaving massive destruction: thousands dead or missing and tens of thousands injured. The disaster occurred against a backdrop of years of economic crisis, neglect, and crumbling infrastructure, complicating reconstruction efforts. While most international delegations focused on the initial rescue days, the Israeli Home Front Command delegation also dealt with the day after: how to streamline clearance work, how to quickly remove rubble, and how to build a database to aid the reconstruction process. Despite the lack of official diplomatic relations between Israel and Venezuela, the Israeli recommendations were welcomed by the country's president. The podcast hosts Prof. Leo Corry, Liel Kanfo from Magen Company, and Brig. Gen. (res.) Yossi Pinto, head of the delegation, to understand where to start.
