Death toll from Venezuela quakes rises to 3,535 as more than 17,000 left homeless

The devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24 have resulted in a grim increase in the death toll to 3,535, with over 17,000 people now homeless. The aftershocks and the ensuing challenges highlight the dire need for urgent humanitarian aid and reconstruction efforts. The situation is particularly troubling given Venezuela's ongoing economic and political crisis, which has left many infrastructures and emergency services already strained. This disaster underscores the urgent need for both national and international support to assist in recovery and rebuilding.
