Venezuela's interim government announced on August 25, 2026, that the death toll from the devastating earthquakes on June 24 has risen to 6,509. The tremors, with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, ravaged the coastal state of La Guaira, resulting in the collapse of at least 190 buildings.
Recovery efforts continue as many remain missing, and thousands are displaced, residing in temporary camps. Authorities have reported providing 335 homes to those affected but have committed to delivering 4,000 by year's end.
