Preliminary assessments following earthquakes off the coast of Venezuela suggest a potential death toll ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 people. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) issued the projection based on its PAGER system, which analyzes earthquake impacts. Significant economic losses are also anticipated in the region. Former U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the situation, stating initial reports were unfavorable. The USGS assessment is preliminary and subject to change as more information becomes available. The earthquakes have prompted concern about the vulnerability of coastal communities in Venezuela. Further evaluation is underway to determine the full extent of the damage and humanitarian needs.
