How a McDonald's became a veterinary hospital in Venezuela after earthquakes

A McDonald's restaurant in Caraballeda, in the La Guaira region, epicenter of the two fatal earthquakes that hit Venezuela's northern coast, has been transformed into a makeshift field hospital.

The space began to care for injured survivors and even pets rescued after the disaster.

Doctors, paramedics and volunteers occupied the fast food establishment, converting the dining areas into triage areas, pharmacy spaces and service rooms.

One of the areas of the restaurant was dedicated exclusively to the care of rescued animals.

Volunteers provide primary care to the animals and then try to locate their owners - when they are not located, they are put up for adoption.

At the back of the restaurant, there is a hospital care area for the human victims of the earthquake. Injured people keep arriving and are treated by specialized doctors.
