After the storm passed in General Daniel Cerri, in Bahía Blanca, journalist Nelson Castro conducted a live coverage describing the devastation in the area and the lack of state assistance. In dialogue with Alejandro Savoia, who interviewed him from the studio, Castro noted that water was still accumulated in many places, forcing people to take their furniture out onto the street.
During the broadcast, heartbreaking testimonies were heard from the victims, who expressed feeling abandoned by the authorities. One of them mentioned: 'People we don't even know came to help us,' highlighting the solidarity among the community as key in the first days after the tragedy.
Castro emphasized the urgency of the situation and the need for an immediate response from the authorities, denouncing the absence of government teams working in the affected area. While touring the neighborhood, he showed destroyed homes, wet mattresses, unusable cars, and appliances on the sidewalks.
Neighbors, despite the lack of official assistance, are organizing to try to recover their homes. One of the interviewees, Carlos, recounted his dramatic experience during the storm and thanked the help they received from other neighbors and some organizations.
In the midst of the desolation and the lack of basic services such as electricity and drinking water, the neighbors face the difficult task of rebuilding what was lost. Castro, from the ground, showed the harsh reality they are going through and emphasized the importance of bringing visibility to the situation through the radio. The words of those affected resonated with resignation but also with hope, highlighting their determination to rebuild the town with effort and work, despite adversity.
