Death toll from Venezuela twin quakes rises to over 6,300

Death toll from Venezuela twin quakes rises to over 6,300

According to a report from the Saudi Gazette, the death toll following a series of twin earthquakes in Venezuela has reached 6,301. The figures were reportedly released on Monday via the Telegram channel of National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez, who is overseeing the government's emergency response and temporary housing efforts.

In the update, Rodriguez claimed that emergency response teams successfully rescued 6,462 individuals in the aftermath of the seismic activity. The report further stated that 73,356 people required hospital treatment across the country. Regarding infrastructure, authorities reportedly evaluated over 50,000 residences, classifying 9,567 as high-risk and 12,411 as restricted, while 31,336 remain habitable. The government claims to have delivered 287 new homes to displaced families and cleared approximately 483,525 tons of debris.

These figures have not been independently verified by international aid organizations or global seismic monitoring agencies. As of this time, no other major news outlets have reported on a seismic event of this magnitude in Venezuela during the timeframe mentioned. NoorNews continues to monitor official international channels for confirmation regarding the scale of the reported disaster.
