Venezuela earthquake death toll rises to 4,490
The death toll from the two earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24 has risen to 4,490.
The official count of injured remained unchanged at 16,740, while 6,462 people have been rescued, National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez said on Sunday on his Telegram account.
The number of people left homeless stands at 17,907, according to the figures.
The magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes struck the capital Caracas and the coastal state of La Guaira, flattening high-rise apartment buildings and leaving thousands of families without shelter.
Temporary camps have been set up in stadiums, public squares and along sidewalks, while Venezuelan and foreign volunteers are providing medical care and distributing food.
More than 19,000 people are currently living in those camps, Rodriguez said on Saturday.
