The death toll from the powerful dual earthquakes that struck Venezuela in late June has tragically exceeded 6,500. Authorities continue to assess the full extent of the damage and locate victims amidst ongoing challenges. The quakes caused widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure, leaving many communities devastated. Rescue efforts have been hampered by difficult terrain and limited resources. International aid organizations are providing assistance, but the needs remain immense. Venezuelan officials are working to provide shelter and support to those displaced by the disaster, while warning that the number of fatalities is likely to increase as recovery operations continue. The government has declared a national emergency and is appealing for further international support.
