Migrants expelled by the United States die in earthquake in Venezuela

On June 24, a double earthquake with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5 struck Venezuela, particularly affecting the state of La Guaira, located north of Caracas. According to an official report, at least 6,509 people have lost their lives since the earthquake, over two months after the disaster.

Among the victims, a group of 146 Venezuelan migrants expelled by the United States was in an old building that subsequently collapsed during the tremors. It has been reported that this group included seven children.

The migrants were being held by intelligence services when the earthquake occurred, according to information provided by several media sources.

Relatives of these migrants have expressed demands for apologies, noting the tragedy that has impacted their families alongside the aftermath of the earthquake.

Rescue operations continue to search through the rubble for other victims, as the situation in the region evolves with new death toll figures.
