The death toll from a powerful earthquake that recently struck northern Venezuela has risen to 2,645. At least 12,666 people were injured. The country’s government said rescue and relief operations are still ongoing.
\nAccording to the latest data released by the Venezuelan Ministry of Communications and Information on Friday (July 3), 6,462 people have been rescued alive since the disaster. More than 86,000 families have been provided with emergency relief and necessary assistance in support of the victims, Anadolu Agency reported.
\nAccording to official estimates, 885 buildings were damaged to varying degrees in the earthquake. Of these, 189 structures collapsed completely, which made the extent of the damage even more serious. International cooperation in the rescue operation is also continuing. The ministry said that more than 3,300 rescue workers from different countries around the world are currently working. In addition, the Caracas administration has deployed about 30,000 personnel to distribute relief and strengthen rescue operations.
\nAccording to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), two powerful earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5, struck the country just 39 seconds apart on June 24. The 7.5-magnitude quake was centered southeast of Yumar in the state of Yaracuy, while the 7.2-magnitude quake was centered northeast of the city of San Felipe. Meanwhile, authorities say 890 aftershocks have been recorded since the main quake. As a result, panic still reigns in the affected areas and rescue workers continue to work cautiously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
