The death toll from twin earthquakes that struck north-central Venezuela has risen past 6,000, according to National Assembly chief Jorge Rodriguez. The disasters, which measured 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude, hit the region on June 24 and caused nearly 200 buildings to collapse, primarily in the worst-hit coastal state of La Guaira.

Weeks after the initial impact, recovery efforts continue in the affected areas. Debris from the collapsed structures remains present in La Guaira, while authorities manage the mounting casualties and ongoing search operations for the missing.
