The death toll from the powerful twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24 has risen to 4,333, with 16,740 people injured, according to National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez. He announced the updated figures at a press conference on Saturday, noting that 315 victims remain unidentified. Rescue teams have so far saved 6,462 people, while around 17,000 have been left homeless.
Rodríguez stated that the government will begin distributing new housing to affected families next week. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez will allocate the first 200 new homes to victims. A total of 856 buildings were damaged, including 190 that either collapsed completely or suffered severe structural damage. Authorities estimate that at least 25,000 new homes will be needed for rehabilitation efforts.
To support reconstruction, approximately 40 plots of land covering 584,000 square meters have been identified in the Osma and Chuspa areas. Rodríguez added that rescue operations remain ongoing in a few uncertain zones where teams continue searching for survivors.
