Tel Aviv [Israel], March 31 (ANI/TPS): After a devastating earthquake struck Thailand over the weekend, Israel dispatched missions on Sunday to assist in the disaster-stricken area and save lives.

A team from Camero-Tech, an Israeli company based in Netanya specializing in breakthrough technology, was the first international team to arrive at the disaster site in Bangkok.

"We successfully located a live survivor 5 meters beneath the rubble," said Ilan Abramovich, VP of Marketing, Sales, and Business Development at Camero-Tech, speaking to The Press Service of Israel.

Using their advanced Xaver 400 system, which detects signs of life through walls and has previously saved lives in disasters in Turkey and Mexico, the team was able to pinpoint the first survivor at that depth. Upon detecting signs of life, the team immediately began rescue operations in collaboration with Thai authorities.

"It's an immense source of pride for us to see Israeli technology saving lives worldwide," Abramovich added.
