The death toll from the twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24 has climbed to 6,125, according to the latest figures released by the country’s government. Officials say rescue, relief and rebuilding efforts are continuing as thousands of families remain displaced by the devastating disaster.

National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez announced on Monday that 6,462 people had been rescued since the earthquakes. Nearly 61,000 people have also received medical treatment for injuries linked to the disaster. Authorities continue to provide healthcare, emergency shelter and other essential services to those affected as recovery operations move forward.

The earthquakes, which measured magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5, struck western Yaracuy state and the central coastal state of La Guaira, causing widespread damage across several parts of Venezuela. La Guaira remains the hardest-hit region, with 10,981 people still living in temporary shelters. In the capital, Caracas, another 6,133 displaced residents remain in relief camps, while 1,323 people continue to stay in shelters in Miranda state.

Government officials say rehabilitation work is progressing across the affected areas. So far, 287 newly built homes have been handed over to families who lost their properties during the earthquakes. In addition, engineers have completed safety inspections on 43,679 buildings across the country to assess structural damage and determine whether they are safe for occupancy.

Authorities are using a colour-coded system to classify damaged buildings. Structures marked with green tags have been declared safe for residents to return, while yellow tags indicate restricted access due to safety concerns. Buildings carrying red tags have been identified as unsafe and may require demolition before reconstruction can begin.

The government also continues to coordinate humanitarian assistance from the international community. Earlier, Acting President Delcy Rodriguez thanked the 28 countries that have provided aid following the disaster. She said more than 2,000 tonnes of relief supplies are being sorted and distributed from collection centres in Caracas to temporary shelters and affected communities across the country.

Rodriguez said Venezuela remains grateful for the international support it has received and pledged to maintain transparency in the distribution of donated supplies so contributing countries can monitor how their assistance is being used. She added that while emergency relief remains a priority, the government’s long-term focus is now shifting toward rebuilding damaged communities, restoring essential infrastructure and helping thousands of displaced families return to safe and stable living conditions.
