Venezuela Earthquake Tragedy: Death Toll Reaches 4,118

The death toll from the powerful twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24 has crossed 4,118, according to Venezuelan Parliament Chief Jorge Rodriguez. Over 16,740 people have been injured in this massive natural disaster.

Back-to-Back Powerful Quakes

The country was hit by two strong earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 within a short span. The tremors caused widespread destruction, particularly in the coastal state of La Guaira, where entire districts were flattened.

Many buildings collapsed, roads were damaged, and basic infrastructure was severely affected, making rescue operations extremely challenging.

Government Response

The Venezuelan government has launched large-scale rescue and relief operations. Parliament Chief Jorge Rodriguez confirmed the latest casualty figures and assured that all possible efforts are being made to help the affected people.

Current Situation

Thousands of people are still living in temporary shelters. Aftershocks continue to be felt, creating fear among survivors. International aid is also reaching Venezuela to support the relief work.

This is one of the deadliest earthquakes to hit the South American nation in recent history.
