Tuesday, 25 August 2026, 06:37 · 1 min read

Venezuela's interim government has confirmed 6,509 deaths from twin earthquakes that struck the South American country on June 24, with recovery efforts still ongoing. The magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 tremors devastated the coastal state of La Guaira, where at least 190 buildings collapsed and thousands of displaced residents remain in makeshift camps. Authorities have so far provided only 335 of the 4,000 homes pledged to survivors by year's end, and the number of people still missing has not been disclosed.
