Venezuela Earthquake Death Toll Rises to 6,125 Amid Reconstruction Crisis
As of August 4, 2026, the death toll from the devastating twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24 has reached 6,125. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez has renewed urgent appeals for the lifting of international sanctions to facilitate the release of assets for humanitarian aid and infrastructure rebuilding. The country remains in a state of humanitarian catastrophe, complicated by the earlier political transition and the capture of former leadership in January 2026.
