AustriaMore than 5,100 people have died as a result of the devastating double earthquake that struck Venezuela three and a half weeks ago, according to official reports. The death toll has risen to 5,119, as stated by Parliament President Jorge Rodriguez on Telegram. The number of injured remains unchanged at 16,740, while authorities continue to provide no figures for the missing. Estimates from the United Nations suggest this number could be as high as 50,000. The earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale, occurred on June 24 just 39 seconds apart. The hardest-hit area was La Guaira, a state near the capital Caracas, where rescue teams continue to recover bodies from collapsed buildings.
