Following two significant earthquakes – magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5 – that struck Venezuela on June 24th, thousands of residents are spending nights in public spaces like parks and plazas. The decision to sleep outdoors is driven by widespread fear of aftershocks and concerns about the structural integrity of their homes. Reports indicate that many in Caracas are refusing to return indoors, prioritizing safety over shelter. The earthquakes caused considerable alarm and disruption, prompting a mass exodus from residences. Authorities have not yet released comprehensive damage assessments, but the immediate response focuses on providing support to those displaced. The situation remains fluid as residents await further information and reassurance regarding the stability of buildings. Eldiario.com first reported on the unfolding crisis and the public’s reaction.
