Venezuela raises to 4,118 the death toll from the devastating earthquakes of June
Venezuela has reported an increase in the death toll from the devastating earthquakes that struck the country over two weeks ago, raising the number to 4,118 according to local authorities. The figure represents an increase of 229 deaths compared to the previous day’s count of 3,889. The earthquakes, which occurred on June 24 and included tremors of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5, severely impacted the coastal state of La Guaira, neighboring Caracas, where many buildings collapsed. According to the Venezuelan government, 856 buildings were damaged, with 190 completely destroyed. The United Nations estimates that up to 50,000 people could have gone missing due to the quakes, which are considered among the worst in Latin America. Recent aftershocks, including a 3.9-magnitude earthquake in Caracas, have caused evacuations and heightened anxiety among residents who remain on high alert.
