Barrera highlighted the efforts to rescue the trapped individuals, with the active collaboration of the firefighters and numerous volunteers from the region. The mayor mentioned that approximately 6 people remain trapped under the rubble. Additionally, he pointed out that another nearby building, of smaller size, also collapsed due to the impact of the collapsed structure.
Amid this tragedy in Villa Gesell, rescue efforts continue intensively, with the hope of finding the trapped individuals safe and sound.
