The death toll from the two powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela last week has risen to 2,295, according to Jorge Rodriguez, speaker of the country’s National Assembly. Rodriguez, speaking on state television, reported that thousands more are injured and have been left homeless by the disaster. A significant number of people, estimated in the tens of thousands, remain missing. The earthquakes caused widespread destruction and are continuing to pose challenges for rescue and recovery efforts. Authorities are working to locate survivors and provide aid to those affected, but the scale of the disaster is immense. The ongoing search for missing individuals is a top priority, alongside providing shelter and medical assistance to the injured and displaced. The situation remains critical as Venezuela grapples with the aftermath of this devastating natural disaster.
