SOUNDBITE by Major Joe STROESCU, Head of Medical Operations, Romanian Emergency Rescue Services (in ITALIAN): My name is Joe Stroescu: I come from Romania with the medical team, in total we are a group of 15 people who have moved to help the Italian people. We have left the families at home, but we have come here to help the family of the European Union. It does not matter whether we are Romanian or Italian, no matter what kind of nation we are healing in this moment, the important thing is that we must work together.
