QatarThe World Bank has estimated that two major earthquakes in Venezuela caused approximately $19.6 billion in physical damage, with 47% of this affecting residential buildings, 27% impacting infrastructure, and 26% damaging non-residential structures. The earthquakes, which occurred on June 24, are reported to have killed at least 5,000 people, injured nearly 17,000, and left 18,000 homeless. The World Bank emphasized the importance of accurate data for effective recovery efforts, noting that Venezuela already faces significant economic challenges, with 76% of its population living in poverty. The assessment used various methods including seismic data, satellite imagery, and reports from government and humanitarian organizations. While international support has been pledged, the funding sources for recovery remain uncertain.
