Death toll from earthquakes in Venezuela rises to nearly 6,500

After the earthquakes that struck Venezuela in late June, the death toll has risen to at least 6,438. This figure was reported on Monday by Parliament Speaker Jorge Rodriguez. The disaster occurred six weeks ago, and since then, rescue teams and family members have been actively searching for victims under the rubble.

Almost two months after the earthquake, many people remain missing despite intense efforts. Authorities have yet to release exact figures on the number of missing persons, further complicating the situation for affected families.

The search for bodies and survivors continues, with many involved hoping for news about their loved ones. Humanitarian efforts in the affected areas remain essential, as much of the infrastructure has been damaged.

The updated toll presented by Rodriguez underscores the gravity of the disaster and its consequences for the local population. It remains a challenging situation for both rescuers and families.
