“As soon as the earthquake happened, I took my children and came here. I have been here all the time since about 1 hour after the earthquake. Thus began our adventure. Unfortunately, it was a very difficult process. We dealt with a very large number of wounded. We served about 2,500 injured people in the first 72 hours. In addition, we have very fast transfers here. It was really a very difficult process.”
