The death toll from the June earthquakes in Venezuela has surpassed 6,000, according to National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez. Rodriguez confirmed that 6,125 people have died, as the government's response to the disaster faces scrutiny. The updated figure comes weeks after two powerful earthquakes, of magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5, struck on June 24. The tremors caused nearly 200 buildings to collapse, most of them in the coastal state of La Guaira, which was the worst-hit area. The confirmed toll marks a significant increase from earlier estimates, underscoring the scale of the disaster. Authorities have faced questions over the speed and effectiveness of rescue and relief efforts in the aftermath. The earthquakes devastated communities along Venezuela's coast, leaving thousands dead and many buildings in ruins. Rodriguez's announcement provides the first official death toll surpassing 6,000, though the government has not yet released a full breakdown of casualties. As recovery efforts continue, the full extent of the destruction remains under assessment. The disaster has raised concerns about the region's preparedness for such seismic events, and aid groups have called for continued support to affected families. With nearly 200 buildings collapsed, La Guaira faces a long road to reconstruction.
