Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, has reported 32 fatalities and over 700 injuries following recent earthquakes that struck the Caribbean region of the country. The most significant damage and casualties occurred in areas impacted by the strong tremors. Authorities anticipate the death toll may rise as information is still being gathered from La Guaira state, one of the hardest-hit zones. Rescue and recovery efforts are underway, but hampered by ongoing assessments of the full extent of the damage. The earthquakes caused considerable disruption and damage to infrastructure in affected areas. Officials are working to provide aid and support to those impacted by the disaster, while continuing to monitor for potential aftershocks. Further updates are expected as the situation evolves and more information becomes available.
