The Venezuela earthquake death toll has risen to 2,954, with more than 16,500 people injured and over 16,000 displaced as emergency teams continue rescue and relief operations.
CARACAS: The Venezuela earthquake death toll has climbed to 2,954 after two powerful earthquakes struck the country on June 24, according to updated figures released by the Ministry of Communication and Information on Saturday. Authorities said rescue teams remain on the ground as search and recovery efforts continue in the hardest-hit regions.
The ministry reported that 16,592 people have been injured, while 16,309 residents have been displaced by the disaster. Officials said medical teams have treated more than 22,000 people since the earthquakes, with temporary shelters established for thousands who lost their homes. Nearly 30,000 national emergency personnel and 3,281 international rescue workers have been deployed to support relief operations across affected communities.
The Venezuela earthquake death toll has continued to rise as rescue crews search collapsed buildings and damaged neighbourhoods for survivors. Authorities said thousands of people have already been rescued, although recovery operations remain challenging because of extensive structural damage and disrupted infrastructure. International humanitarian organisations are also providing medical assistance and emergency supplies to support local response efforts.
Officials urged residents to remain alert for aftershocks and follow safety guidance issued by emergency services. The government said assessments of damaged homes, roads and public facilities are ongoing as recovery work enters a new phase. The Venezuela earthquake death toll remains subject to change as search teams continue operations and authorities verify information from affected areas.
