Engineers urge Venezuela to audit state housing after deadly quake

Following a deadly earthquake, engineers are calling for a thorough audit of state housing projects in Venezuela, particularly those built under the late leader Hugo Chávez. These developments, meant to provide new homes after devastating floods, now face scrutiny over their structural integrity. The urgency of this call highlights the broader issues in Venezuela’s housing sector, where economic struggles and maintenance lapses threaten public safety. This situation underscores the urgent need for better oversight and investment in infrastructure to prevent future catastrophes.
